Theorem
Theorem 8.9 -

If one pair of opposite sides of a quadrilateral are congruent

and parallel, then the quadrilateral is a parallelogram.

Theorem

Properties of Rhombus, Rectangles, and Squares

Vocabulary
Rectangle -

Square -

A quadrilateral with four right angles.

A quadrilateral with four congruent sides and four

right angles.

Vocabulary
Parallelogram - A quadrilateral with both pairs of opposite sides parallel.

Rhombus -

A quadrilateral with four congruent sides.

Theorem
Theorem 8.11 - A parallelogram is a rhombus if and only if its diagonals are perpendicular

Theorem
Theorem 8.12 -

A parallelogram is a rhombus if and only if each diagonal bisects

a pair of opposite angles.

Theorem
Theorem 8.13 -

A parallelogram is a rectangle if and only if its diagonals are congruent.

Decide if whether the statement is always or sometimes true of any rhombus QRST.
1. Q S
Always true since QRST is a rhombus and opposite sides are congruent by definition of a
rhombus
2. Q R
Sometimes true if the rhombus is a square.

For any rectangle EFGH, is it always or sometimes true that FG GH?

Sometimes since this is only true if EFGH is a square.

A quadrilateral has four congruent sides and four congruent angles. Sketch the
quadrilateral and classify it.
Q

))

It is a rhombus since opposite angles are congruent and four sides are congruent.
