Other Quadrilaterals
Objective
To define and classify special types of parallelograms
To use properties of diagonals of rhombuses and rectangles.

Warm-up
What would you call the following?
1.

2.

Square

3.

Rectangle

Rhombus

Key Definitions
A rhombus is a parallelogram with four
congruent sides
A rectangle is a parallelogram with four right
angles
A square is a parallelogram with four congruent
sides and four right angles.

Important Theorems
(Properties of rhombus)

If a parallelogram is a rhombus then.

1. The diagonals are perpendicular

2. The diagonals are also

angle bisectors of a pair of
opposite angles.

Important Theorems
(Properties of Rectangles)

If a parallelogram is a rectangle, then

1. The diagonals are congruent

Note
All properties of parallelograms apply to a
rhombus and rectangle.
Since a square is a rhombus AND a rectangle,
all properties of a parallelogram, rhombus, and
rectangle are also properties of a square.
ALL of the converses are true:
Ex. If the diagonals of a parallelogram are
perpendicular, then the parallelogram is a rhombus.

Relationships

Examples
Identify the parallelogram.
Rhombus, 4 congruent sides

Square, 4 rt angles
and 4 congruent
sides

What are the measures of the angles in the rhombus?

180-90-50=40

Since this is a rhombus,

the diagonals are
perpendicular, so 90
Since this is a
rhombus, the angle is
equal, so 50

Examples
Use algebra.
JKLM is a rectangle. If JL = 4x 12 and MK = x, what is the value of x? What is
the length of each diagonal?
J

Since its a rectangle, the diagonals are congruent.

4x 12 = x
12 = -3x
4=x

Mk = 4 = JL
