| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| diagonal | segment of a polygon that joins 2 non-consecutive vertices |
| formula to find the interior angle sum of a polygon | (n-2)180 |
| formula to find one interior angle of a regular polygon | (n-2)180/2 |
| exterior angles of a polygon always | have a sum of 360 |
| formula to find one exterior angle of a regular polygon | 360/n |
| parallelogram | quadrilateral whose opposite sides are parallel |
| parallelogram properties | opposite sides are congruent, opposite angles are congruent, consecutive angles are suppl, bisecting diagonals, 1 pair of ≅ and // opp sides |
| ways to prove a shape is a parallelogram | distance (opp sides ≅), slope (opp sides //), midpoint (diagonals bisect) |
| rectangle | parallelogram with 4 right angles |
| rectangle properties | has ≅ diagonals and other parallelogram properties |
| rhombus | parallelogram with 4 ≅ sides |
| rhombus properties | perpendicular diagonals, diagonals bisect angles, and other parallelogram properties |
| square | rectangle, rhombus, and parallelogram combined |
| square properties | ≅ diagonals, perpendicular diagonals, diagonals bisect angles, and other parallelogram properties |
| kite | quadrilateral with 2 pairs of congruent and adjacent sides |
| kite properties | perpendicular diagonals, 2 ≅ short sides, 2 ≅ lone sides, 1 pair ≅ opposite angles (obtuse) |
| trapezoid | quadrilateral with exactly 1 pair of parallel opposite sides |
| midsegment | segment that joins the two midpoints of the legs, parallel to bases, length is the average of base lengths |
| formula to find the midsegment | base 1 + base 2/2 |
| isosceles trapezoids | have ≅ legs, have ≅ base angles, have ≅ diagonals |
