Properties of Squares and Rhombi

Properties of Squares and Rhombi

Today's goal: Classify and use properties of the special parallelograms: rhombi and squares.

Recall:

• Diagonals Are Not ALWAYS Perpendicular

• Diagonals Do Not ALWAYS Bisect Angles

• Consecutive Sides Are Not ALWAYS Congruent

All Rhombi Are Parallelograms...

...But Not All Parallelograms Are Rhombi. Why?

Multiple Choice

What Characteristics Make Rhombi Different From Other Parallelograms?

• opposite sides are congruent

• diagonals bisect each other

• their angels are not 90 $$\degree$$

• no idea

Characteristics of Rhombi:

• All Sides Are Congruent

• Diagonals Bisect Opposite Angles

• Diagonals Are Perpendicular (i.e., they form Right Angles)

Multiple Choice

Quadrilateral JKLM is a rhombus. If JK = 12 and JN = 7, what are the measures of JM, JL, MN, and MK?

• JM= 7 JL= 14 MN= 7 and MK= 14

• JM= 12 JL= 14 MN= 7 and MK= 14

• JM= 12 JL= 7 MN= 7 and MK= 7

• none of the above
