Review: Rectangles, Rhombuses, and
Squares all Share these Properties of a
Parallelogram…
Opp. Sides are //
Opp. Angles are congruent
Opp. Sides are congruent
Diagonals Bisect Each Other
In addition, rectangles, rhombuses, and
squares all have their own special
properties. These are the focus of this
lesson.
Theorem: The diagonals of a
Rectangle are Congruent
Draw two congruent intersecting lines that bisect each
other.
Connect the corners. You drew a rectangle.
Theorem: The diagonals of a
rhombus are perpendicular.
Draw two lines that bisect each other & are perpendicular.
Connect the corners. You have drawn a rhombus.
Theorem: Each diagonal of a rhombus
bisects two angles of the rhombus.
Draw a rhombus and its diagonals.
You bisected all four angles.
Theorem: The midpoint of the hypotenuse of a
right triangle is equidistant from all three vertices.
Draw a right triangle and put a point at the midpoint of the
hypotenuse.
Draw a line from that point to the vertex of the right angle.
All three distances are equal.
.
Theorem: If an angle of a parallelogram is a right
angle, then the parallelogram is a rectangle.
Draw one right angle.
Draw the two other sides parallel to the opposite side.
You have drawn a rectangle.
Why is it a rectangle?
Opp. Angles of a Parallelogram
Are congruent
Parallel lines imply SS Int. angles
are supplementary.
Theorem: If two consecutive sides of a
parallelogram are congruent, then the
parallelogram is a rhombus.
Draw two congruent sides of an angle.
Draw the two other sides parallel
to the opposite sides.
You have drawn a rhombus.
Why is it a rhombus?
Opp. Sides of a Parallelogram are congruent.

186 (1-11)
 P. 187 (1-10) (11-27 Odd)
If you forget the theorems, it helps to draw a picture…i.e. draw a rhombus and
then its diagonals and see if they are congruent or pependicular.
