How are a square and a rhombus similar and different? rhombus square
In this lesson you will learn how to compare and contrast quadrilateralsby listing the attributes they share and those they don’t.
Quadrilaterals with 2 sets of parallel sides: rectangle • 2 sets of parallel sides • 2 pairs of congruent sides • 4 right angles • 2 sets of parallel sides • 2 pairs of congruent sides parallelogram • 2 sets of parallel sides • 4 congruent sides • 4 right angles rhombus • 2 sets of parallel sides • 4 congruent sides square
Quadrilaterals with 1 or less sets of parallel sides: • 1 set of parallel sides isosceles trapezoid trapezoid • 4 sides • 1 set of parallel sides • 1 pair of congruent sides non-specific quadrilateral
Thinking that all quadrilaterals are totally separate from each other. rectangle X A square and a rectangle are totally different. Right? square
Compare and contrast a parallelogram and a rhombus. • A rhombus has: • 2 sets of parallel sides • 4 congruent sides • A parallelogram has: • 2 sets of parallel sides • 2 pairs of congruent sides rhombus parallelogram • 2 sets of parallel sides • 4 congruent sides • AT LEAST 2 pairs of congruent sides
How are a square and a rhombus similar and different? • A rhombus has: • 2 sets of parallel sides • 4 congruent sides • A square has: • 2 sets of parallel sides • 4 congruent sides • 4 right angles square rhombus • 2 sets of parallel sides • 4 right angles • 4 congruent sides
How are a square and a rhombus similar and different? similar different • A square must have 4 right angles. • They both have all congruent sides (4 equal sides). • They both have 2 sets of parallel sides.
In this lesson you have learned how to compare and contrast quadrilateralsby listing the attributes they share and those they don’t.
What makes a trapezoid different from a parallelogram? different • 2 sets of parallel sides • 2 pairs of congruent sides • A parallelogram MUST have 2 pairs of parallel sides, and a trapezoid has only 1. • A parallelogram MUST have 2 pairs of congruent sides, and a trapezoid may or may not have any. parallelogram trapezoid • 1 set of parallel sides • 1 pair of congruent sides (isosceles)
Choose two quadrilaterals for a classmate. Ask him/her to compare and contrast them for you. Have him/her tell you what makes them similar and what makes them different.
Make a list of all the quadrilaterals you know. Sort them into groups based on attributes they share. Be ready to explain why you chose to sort them the way you did.
