QUADRILATERALS

Quadrilateral is a figure with four sides and four vertices.

Quadrilaterals are named by listing their vertices in order.

Any two sides, vertices, or angles of a quadrilateral are either

consecutive or nonconsecutive.

Segments that join nonconsecutive vertices of a quadrilateral are called

diagonals.

The sum of the measures of the angles of a quadrilateral is 360 degrees

Parallelograms

Diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.

A diagonal of a parallelogram separates it int two congruent triangles.

Trapezoids

The median of a trapezoid is parallel to the bases, and the length of the
median equals one-half the sum of the lengths of the bases.

Each pair of base angles in an isosceles trapezoid is congruent.

 Examples:

1. Find the missing measure(s) in the figure.

 Examples:

2. Find the measure of each angle in quadrilateral RSTU if 𝑚∠𝑅 = 𝑥,

𝑚∠𝑆 = 𝑥 + 10, 𝑚∠𝑇 = 𝑥 + 30, 𝑚∠𝑈 = 50.
 Examples:

3. In a parallelogram, the measure of one side is 7. Find the measure of

the opposite side.

4. The measure of one angle of a parallelogram is 35. Determine the

measure of the other three angles.
 Examples:

5. Find the length of the shorter base of a trapezoid if the length of the
median is 34 m. and the length of the longer base is 49 m.

6. One base of an isosceles trapezoid is 45 degrees. Find the measure

of the other three angles.
