QUADRILATERAL
POINTS TO REMEMBER
POINTS TO REMEMBER
Diagonals of rhombus are perpendicular.
Each diagonal of a rhombus bisects a pair of opposite angles.
Diagonals of a rectangle are congruent.
Diagonals of a square are perpendicular and congruent.
POINTS TO REMEMBER
THE MIDLINE THEOREM
The segment whose endpoints are the midpoints of two sides of a triangle is parallel to and half as
long as the third side.
THEOREM ON TRAPEZOID
The median of a trapezoid is parallel to the bases and the length of which is equal to half the sum of
the lengths of the bases.
If ABCD Is an isosceles trapezoid, then
a. (AD) ̅ ≌ (BC) ̅ because legs of an isosceles trapezoid are ≌
b. ∠A ≌ ∠B because base angles of an isosceles trapezoid ≌
c. ∠D ≌ ∠C because base angles of an isosceles trapezoid are ≌
d. (AC) ̅ ≌ (BD) ̅ because diagonals of an isosceles trapezoid are ≌
e. EF = ½ (AB+DC) because the median of a trapezoid is ½ the sum of the bases.
THEOREM ON KITES
If a quadrilateral is a kite, then its diagonals are perpendicular.
If a quadrilateral is a kite, then exactly two pairs of congruent adjacent sides are ≌.
Kite has exactly one diagonal bisects a pair of opposite angles.
For item numbers 1 – 5, M and N are midpoints of AC and AD respectively. Complete each
statement.
For item numbers 6-10, refer to isosceles trapezoid EFGH with median IJ.
POINTS TO REMEMBER
In solving Problems involving parallelogram, trapezoid and kite, it is important to remember and
use the properties to find the measures of angles, sides and other quantities involving
parallelogram, trapezoid and kite.
Follow the following steps:
1. Read and understand the problem/situation given.
2. Identify the property/theorem to be used base on the parallelogram given.
3. Formulate the equation.
4. Solve the equation.
5. Check your solution/s.
Illustrative example 1. Find the value of x and y for which CARE is a parallelogram.
1.1. Given: PA = 5x -4
PE = 4x
Solutions:
Diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.
PE = PA
4x = 5x - 4
x=4
Illustrative example 2. The diagonals of an isosceles trapezoid are represented by 4x-47 and 2x
+ 31. What is the value of x?
Solution: The diagonal of an isosceles trapezoid are congruent. Therefore,
4x – 47 = 2x + 31
x = 39
Answer: 8; 12; 40
