Document Summary
A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with both pairs of opposite sides parallel. Each diagonal divides it into 2 congruent triangles. It has 180 degree rotation symmetry (point symmetry). A rectangle is a parallelogram with a right angle. A rhombus is a parallelogram with a pair of congruent adjacent sides. A square is a rectangle with a pair of congruent adjacent sides. {properties of a square} = union of {properties of a rectangle} and {properties of a rhombus}. A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with one, and only one, pair of opposite sides parallel. Ab and cd are called the bases. Angle c and angle d are a pair of base angles. An isosceles trapezoid is a trapezoid whose legs are congruent. In an isosceles trapezoid, the base angles can be prove congruent. Also, the diagonals can be proven congruent. An isosceles trapezoid has 1 line of symmetry. There are 5 different ways to prove a quadrilateral is a parallelogram:
