ANSWER it if you are genius… • A man and his wife have three sons, and every one of the sons has a sister… • How many are there in the family? • A. 6 B. 8 C. 10 D. 12
Warm up • Identify the transformation ∆RST → ∆XYZ. • Is XY congruent to RS? • What is the length of XY?
Math is brought to you by the number … • April 18, 2013 • Day 65 of 90 • 90-65 =
Parallelograms A four sided figure with both pairs of opposite sides parallel
Some Special Properties of Parallelograms • Opposite sides are congruent • Diagonals bisect each other • Both pairs of opposite sides are parallel
To Prove Parallel (use slope formula) • Means opposite sides have the SAME SLOPE Sides Congruent (use distance formula) • Means their distances are the same
Rectangle A parallelogram with 4 right angles
Some Special Properties of Rectangles • All the properties of a parallelogram • Diagonals are congruent • 4 right angles
To Prove Parallel (use slope formula) • Means opposite sides have the SAME SLOPE 4 Right Angles (use slope formula) • Means consecutive sides have opposite reciprocal slopes Opposite Sides Congruent (use distance formula) • Means opposite sides have the same distance
Rhombus A parallelogram with 4 congruent sides
Some Special Properties of Rhombus • All the properties of a parallelogram • Diagonals are perpendicular • 4 congruent sides
To Prove Parallel (use slope formula) • Means opposite sides have the SAME SLOPE Perpendicular (use slope formula) • Means diagonals have opposite reciprocal slopes Sides Congruent (use distance formula) • Means their distances are the same
Square A parallelogram with 4 congruent sides & 4 right angles
Some Special Properties of Square • All the properties of a parallelogram, rectangle, & rhombus
Kite A quadrilateral with 2 pairs of consecutive congruent sides, but opposites sides are NOT parallel
Some Special Properties of Kite • Diagonals are perpendicular
To Prove Not Parallel (use slope formula) • All sides have a different slope 2 Pairs of Consecutive Sides Congruent (use distance formula) • Means two pair of sides have the same distance
Trapezoid A quadrilateral with 1 pair of parallel sides called bases
base leg leg base Trapezoids Have only one pair of opposite sides that are parallel.
Isosceles Trapezoid A quadrilateral with 1 pair of parallel sides called bases and non-parallel sides are congruent (legs)
Some Special Properties of Isosceles Trapezoid • Diagonals are congruent
To Prove Bases Parallel (use slope formula) • Means 1 pair of opposite sides have the SAME SLOPE Legs Congruent (use distance formula) • Means their distances are the same Diagonals Congruent (use distance formula) • Means their distances are the same
Classifying Trianglesby Sides • Equilateral – 3 congruent sides • Isosceles – 2 congruent sides • Scalene – No sides congruent
To Prove Congruent (use distance formula) • Means their distances are the same; figure out how many sides of the triangle have the same distance
