Term
Definition
Rectangle   parallelogram with four right angles  
🗑
Properties of a Rectangle   opposite sides are congruent; opposite angles are congruent; consecutive angles are supplementary; diagonals bisect each other; diagonals are congruent, opposite sides are parallel, 4 right angles  
🗑
Rhombus   Rhombus is a parallelogram with 4 congruent sides  
🗑
Properties of a Rhombus   opposite sides are congruent; opposite angles are congruent; consecutive angles are supplementary; diagonals bisect each other; diagonals are perpendicular; diagonals bisect each pair of opposite angles. DIAGONALS ARE NOT CONGRUENT  
🗑
Properties of a Square   opposite sides are congruent; opposite angles are congruent; consecutive angles are supplementary; diagonals bisect each other; diagonals are congruent; diagonals are perpendicular; diagonals bisect each pair of opposite angles.  
🗑
Trapezoid   a quadrilateral with exactly one pair of parallel sides  
🗑
isosceles trapezoid   trapezoid whose nonparallel sides are congruent  
🗑
Properties of a Trapezoid   angles along the leg add to 180 degrees; all four angles add to 360 degrees; if the trapezoid is isosceles, then the base angles are equal and the diagonals are congruent.  
🗑
Kite   a kite is a quadrilateral with two pairs of consecutive sides congruent and NO opposite sides congruent. A kite has NO parallel sides, so a kite is NOT a parallelogram.  
🗑
Properties of a Kite   all four angles add up to 360 degrees; diagonals are perpendicular; one pair of opposite angles are congruent; no parallel sides. At the short diagonal, the angles are congruent. At the long diagonal, the diagonals are bisected.  
🗑
Trapezoid Midsegment Theorem   The midsegment of a trapezoid is parallel to each base and its measure is one half the sum of the lengths of the bases. M=1/2 (base one + base two)  
🗑
Polygons   a closed figure that has vertices, sides, angles and exterior angles.  
🗑
How do you name a polygon?   By listing the vertices in order around the polygon.  
🗑
Diagonal   a segment connecting 2 nonconsecutive vertices of a polygon.  
🗑
Convex polygon   polygon where NO diagonal goes outside the figure  
🗑
Concave polygon   Polygons where ANY diagonal goes outside the figure. Concave polygons "cave" in.  
🗑
3 sided polygon   triangle  
🗑
4 sided polygon   quadrilateral  
🗑
5 sided polygon   pentagon  
🗑
6 sided polygon   hexagon  
🗑
7 sided polygon   heptagon  
🗑
8 sided polygon   octagon  
🗑
9 sided polygon   nonagon  
🗑
10 sided polygon   decagon  
🗑
12 sided polygon   dodecagon  
🗑
angle sums of polygons   number of triangles formed by diagonals from one vertex  
🗑
interior angle sum theorem   the sum of the measures of the angles in a convex polygon with n sides is (n-2)180  
🗑
exterior angle sum theorem   the sum of the measures of the exterior angles of ANY convex polygon, one at each vertex is 360.  
🗑
regular polygons   a polygon that is BOTH equilateral and equiangular. IF you see the word regular with a polygon, you can divide by the number of sides to find the individual angle measures.  
🗑
Parallelogram   a quadrilateral with BOTH pairs of opposite sides parallel. Abbreviation: //gram  
🗑
Properties of Parallelograms   opposite sides are congruent; opposite angles are congruent; consecutive angles are supplementary; diagonals bisect each other.  
🗑
Theorem 6.9   If both pairs of opposite sides of a quadrilateral are congruent, then the quadrilateral is a parallelogram.  
🗑
Theorem 6.10   If both pairs of opposite angles of a quadrilateral are congruent, then the quadrilateral is a parallelogram.  
🗑
Theorem 6.11   If the diagonals of a quadrilateral bisect each other, then the quadrilateral is a //gram.  
🗑
Theorem 6.12   If one pair of opposite sides of a quadrilateral is BOTH congruent AND parallel, then the quadrilateral is a //gram.  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
