MG2.3 Draw quadrilaterals and triangles
from given information about them (e.g.,
a quadrilateral having equal sides but no
right angles, a right isosceles triangle.)

Holt CA Course 1
9-8 Classifying Quadrilaterals
Some quadrilaterals have properties that
classify them as special quadrilaterals.
Parallelogram
Both pairs of opposite sides are parallel.
You can also classify a quadrilateral as a
parallelogram if both pairs of opposite sides
or both pairs of opposite angles are
congruent.
Holt CA Course 1
9-8 Classifying Quadrilaterals
A rectangle is a parallelogram with four
right angles.
A rhombus is a parallelogram with four
congruent sides.
Holt CA Course 1
9-8 Classifying Quadrilaterals
A square is a parallelogram with four
congruent sides and four right angles.
A trapezoid has exactly one pair
of opposite sides that are parallel.

Quadrilaterals can have more than one
name because the special quadrilaterals
sometimes share properties.

Example 1: Classifying Quadrilaterals
Give all the names that apply to the quadrilateral.
Then give the name that best describes it.
A.
This figure has two pairs
of parallel sides, so it is
a parallelogram.
It has four congruent
sides, so it is also a
rhombus.
Rhombus best describes this quadrilateral.

Example 2: Identifying Types of Quadrilaterals
Give all the names that apply to the quadrilateral.
Then give the name that best describes it.
B.
The figure has exactly one pair
of opposite sides that is
parallel, so it is a trapezoid.
Trapezoid best describes this quadrilateral.

Example 3: Identifying Types of Quadrilaterals
Give all the names that apply to the quadrilateral.
Then give the name that best describes it.
C.
The figure has two pairs of
parallel sides, so it is a
parallelogram.
It has four right angles, so it is
also a rectangle.
Rectangle best describes this quadrilateral.

Example 4: Identifying Types of Quadrilaterals
Give all the names that apply to the quadrilateral.
Then give the name that best describes it.
D.
The figure has two pairs of
parallel sides and both pairs of
opposite angles are congruent,
so it is a parallelogram.
Parallelogram best describes this quadrilateral.

Give all the names that apply to the quadrilateral.
Then give the name that best describes it.
A.
This figure has two pairs of
parallel sides, so it is called a
parallelogram.
It has four right angles, so it is
also a rectangle.
Rectangle best describes this quadrilateral.

Give all the names that apply to the quadrilateral.
Then give the name that best describes it.
B.
The figure has two pairs of
parallel sides, so it is a
parallelogram.
It has four congruent sides,
so it is also a rhombus. It does
not have four right angles, so it
is not a square or rectangle.
Rhombus best describes this quadrilateral.

Give all the names that apply to the quadrilateral.
Then give the name that best describes it.
C.
The figure has two pairs of
opposite sides that are
parallel, so it is a
parallelogram.
It has four right angles, so it is
also a rectangle. It has four
congruent sides, so it is also a
rhombus and a square.
Square best describes this quadrilateral.

Example 8: Drawing Quadrilaterals
Draw each figure. If it is not possible to draw
explain why.
A. a rectangle that is not a rhombus.
The figure has opposite sides that are parallel
but does not have four congruent sides.

Example 9: Drawing Quadrilaterals
Draw each figure. If it is not possible to draw
explain why.
B. a square that is not a rhombus.
Not possible; all squares are rhombi because
they have 4 congruent sides.

Draw each figure. If it is not possible to draw
explain why.
A. a trapezoid that is a rectangle.
Not possible; A rectangle has four right angles
and a trapezoid does not.
