 OBJECTIVES

use properties/theorems to find measures of

angles, sides, and other quantities involving
rectangles

2
ü A rectangle has 4 sides, 4 vertices and 4 right angles.
ü Opposite sides are parallel.
ü Opposite sides are congruent.
ü Adjacent sides are perpendicular.
 THEOREMS ON RECTANGLES
Theorem 1.
If a parallelogram has one right
angles, then it has four right angles
and the parallelogram is a rectangle.

Theorem 2.
The diagonals of a rectangle are
congruent.
Example 1. Find the length using rectangle ABCD, given AC = 2x + 31
and BD = 3(4x – 3)
a. What is the value of x?
b. What is the measure of AC and BD?

a. AC = BD
b. AC = 2x + 31 BD = 3(4x – 3)
2x + 31 = 3(4x – 3)
= 2(4) + 31 = 3[4(4) – 3]
2x + 31 = 12x - 9
= 8 + 31 = 3(16 – 3)
2x – 12x = –9 – 31 = 39 = 3(13)
–10x = –40
= 39
x=4
Example 2. If ABCD is a rectangle with BC = 4x – 30 and AD = x,
find x.

BC = AD
A B 4x – 30 = x
4x – x = 30
D C 3x = 30
x = 10
Example 6. What is the value of AC and BD if EC = 25?
EC = ½ AC BD = AC A B
E
25 = ½ AC BD = 50
(2) 25 = AC D C

50 = AC Example 7. If AC = 5x and BD = 9x – 80,

what is the value of AE ?
BD = AC AC = 5x AE = ½ AC
9x – 80 = 5x AC = 5(20) AE = ½ (100)
9x – 5x = 80
4x = 80 AC = 100
AE = 50
x = 20
Quadrilateral 1. If ZY = 2x + 3 and WX = x + 4, find WX.
WXYZ is a
rectangle. Find ZY = WX WX = x + 4
each measurement. 2x + 3 = x + 4 WX = 1 + 4
2x – x = 4 – 3
Z Y x=1 WX = 5
P
2. If PY = 3x – 5 and WP = 2x + 11, find WY.
W X
PY = WP PY = 3x – 5 PY+WP = WY
3x - 5 = 2x + 11 PY = 3(16) – 5 43+43 = WY
3x – 2x = 11 + 5 PY = 48 – 5 86 = WY
x = 16 PY = 43
