Relationships Within Triangles
Why did the right triangle go to the beach?
Cause it was 90 degrees!!!

5-4 Inverses, Contrapositives, and Indirect Reasoning
If an angle measures 50°, then it is acute

Converse: If an angle is acute, then it measures 50° (False)

Inverse: If an angle does not measure 50°, then it is not acute (False)

Contrapositive: If an angle is not acute, then it does not measure 50° (True)
Indirect Proofs: a proof based on contrapositives
Step 1: temporarily assume what we are trying to prove is false

Step 2: Explain why your statement in step one is a Contradiction with either the given
or what you know

Step 3: Therefore, our assumption was incorrect, so what we want to prove must be
true

Contradiction: two things that cannot both be true at the same time
Example
Given: ▲ABC

Prove: <A and <B are not both right angles

Step 1: temporarily assume <A and <B are both right angles

Step 2: the triangle angle sum theorem says that three angles add up to 180. It is
impossible to have a triangle with two right angles because the third angle would not
exist

Step 3: this contradicts <A and <B are both right angles, therefore our assumption was
wrong

6-2 … Properties of Parallelograms
Are the following figures Parallelograms? How do you
know?
6.3 Proving that a Quadrilateral is a Parallelogram

If both pairs of opposite sides of a quadrilateral are congruent, then the

quadrilateral is a parallelogram
6.3 Proving that a Quadrilateral is a Parallelogram cont.

If both pairs of opposite angles in a quadrilateral are congruent,

then the quadrilateral is a parallelogram.
6.3 Proving that a Quadrilateral is a Parallelogram cont.

If the diagonals of a quadrilateral bisect each other, then the

quadrilateral is a parallelogram.
6.3 Proving that a Quadrilateral is a Parallelogram cont.

If one pair of opposite sides of a quadrilateral is both congruent and

parallel, then the quadrilateral is a parallelogram.
6-4 Special Parallelograms

- Parallel Sides are - All sides are

- Parallel sides are congruent
congruent congruent
- Diagonals are - Diagonals are
congruent congruent
6.5 Trapezoids and Kites
