PROPERTIES OF QUADRILATERALS

Table

1. Trapezoid—a quadrilateral with exactly one pair of parallel sides.

consecutive angles between parallel sides are supplementary

2. Parallelogram—a quadrilateral in which each pair of opposite sides is parallel.

opposite sides are congruent

opposite angles are congruent

diagonals bisect each other

3. Rectangle—a parallelogram with a right angle.

has all properties of a parallelogram

all angles of a rectangle are right angles

the diagonals are congruent and bisect each other

4. Kite—a quadrilateral with two distinct pairs of congruent adjacent sides.

lines containing diagonals are perpendicular to each other

line containing one diagonal is a bisector of the other

one diagonal bisects non-consecutive angles

5. Rhombus—a parallelogram with all sides congruent.

has all properties of a parallelogram and a kite

all sides are congruent

diagonals are perpendicular to and bisect each other

each diagonal bisects opposite angles

6. Square—a rectangle with all sides congruent.

has all properties of a parallelogram, a rectangle, and a rhombus
