Front

What is a parallelogram?

Back

A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with two pairs of parallel sides.

Front

What are the properties of a rhombus?

Back

A rhombus has all sides equal in length, opposite angles equal, and its diagonals bisect each other at right angles.

Front

What is the measurement of the angles in a parallelogram?

Back

The opposite angles in a parallelogram are equal, and the sum of the adjacent angles is 180 degrees.

Front

If one angle of a parallelogram is 70 degrees, what are the measures of the other angles?

Back

The opposite angle is also 70 degrees, and the adjacent angles are 110 degrees each.

Front

What is the relationship between the diagonals of a parallelogram?

Back

The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.

Front

What is a square?

Back

A square is a special type of parallelogram that has all sides equal and all angles equal to 90 degrees.

Front

How do you find the area of a parallelogram?

Back

The area of a parallelogram is calculated by multiplying the base by the height (Area = base × height).

Front

What is the difference between a rectangle and a rhombus?

Back

A rectangle has all right angles, while a rhombus has all sides equal but not necessarily right angles.

Front

What is the formula for the perimeter of a parallelogram?

Back

The perimeter of a parallelogram is calculated as P = 2(a + b), where a and b are the lengths of the two different sides.

Front

What is a trapezoid?

Back

A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with at least one pair of parallel sides.
