6.5 Rhombi and Squares
Then/Now You determined whether quadrilaterals were parallelograms and/or rectangles. Recognize and apply the properties of rhombi and squares. Determine whether quadrilaterals are rectangles, rhombi, or squares.
Vocabulary Rhombus: a parallelogram with all four sides congruent
Vocabulary Square: a parallelogram with four congruent sides and four right angles
Vocabulary Diagonals of a Rhombus #1 Theorem 6.15: If a parallelogram is a rhombus, then its diagonals are perpendicular.
Vocabulary Diagonals of a Rhombus #2 Theorem 6.16: diagonal bisects a pair of opposite angles. If a parallelogram is a rhombus, then each
Vocabulary Condition #1 for a Rhombus Theorem 6.17: If the diagonals of a parallelogram are perpendicular, then the parallelogram is a rhombus. *Converse of 6.15
Vocabulary Condition #2 for a Rhombus Theorem 6.18: pair of opposite angles, then the parallelogram is a rhombus. If one diagonal of a parallelogram bisects a *Converse of 6.16
Vocabulary Condition #3 for a Rhombus Theorem 6.19: If one pair of consecutive sides of a parallelogram are congruent, then the parallelogram is a rhombus.
Vocabulary Square Conditions Theorem 6.20: If a quadrilateral is both a rectangle and a rhombus, then it is a square.
Example 1A Use Properties of a Rhombus A. The diagonals of rhombus WXYZ intersect at V. If m WZX = 39.5, find m ZYX. Answer:m ZYX = 101
Example 1B Use Properties of a Rhombus B. ALGEBRA The diagonals of rhombus WXYZ intersect at V. If WX = 8x 5 and WZ = 6x + 3, find x. Answer:x = 4
Example 1A A. ABCD is a rhombus. Find m CDB if m ABC = 126. A. m CDB = 126 m CDB = 63 B. m CDB = 54 C. D. m CDB = 27
Example 1B B. ABCD is a rhombus. If BC = 4x 5 and CD = 2x + 7, find x. A. x = 1 B. x = 3 C. x = 4 D. x = 6
Rectangle Rhombi
Example 2 Proofs Using Properties of Rhombi and Squares Is there enough information given to prove that ABCD is a rhombus? Given: ABCD is a parallelogram. AD DC Prove: ABCD is a rhombus A. Yes, if one pair of consecutive sides of a parallelogram are congruent, the parallelogram is a rhombus. B. No, you need more information
Example 3 Sachin has a shape he knows to be a parallelogram and all four sides are congruent. Which information does he need to know to determine whether it is also a square? A. The diagonal bisects a pair of opposite angles. B. The diagonals bisect each other. C. The diagonals are perpendicular. D. The diagonals are congruent.
