Rectangles Rectangle – a quadrilateral with 4 right angles. Theorem 8.13 If a parallelogram is a rectangle, then the diagonals are congruent. Rectangles have all the properties of parallelograms plus 2 these 2.
Properties of rectangles • Opposite sides parallel. • Opposite sides congruent. • Opposite angles are congruent. • Consecutive angles supplementary. • Diagonals bisect each other. • All four angles are right angles. • Diagonals are congruent.
Theorem 8.14 If the diagonals of a parallelogram are congruent, then the parallelogram is a rectangle.
Quadrilateral RSTU is a rectangle. If RT=6x+4 and SU=7x-4, find x. If RS=x²+9 and TU=2x+44, find x. x²+9=2x+44 x²-2x-35=0 (x-7)(x+5)=0 x-7=0 x+5=0 x=7, -5 S T R U
