Proving Quadrilaterals

If you wanted to prove that Quadrilateral ABCD is a Parallelogram, what would be the best piece of evidence to use?

• Length of AC = Length of BD, therefore Side AC is congruent to Side BD

• Length of AC = Length of BD, therefore Side AC is parallel to Side BD

• Slope of AC = Slope of BD, therefore Side AC is parallel to Side BD

• The Slopes of AC and BD are opposite reciprocals, therefore Side AC is parallel to Side BD

If you wanted to prove that Quadrilateral ABCD is a rhombus, what would be the best piece of evidence to use?

• The length of each side is √(34), therefore all sides are congruent.

• The length of each side 8, therefore all sides are congruent.

• The slope of AC and BD is 5/3, therefore AC and BD are parallel.

• The slopes of the sides are opposite reciprocals, therefore opposite sides are parallel.

If you want to prove that Quadrilateral ABCD is a rectangle, what is the best piece of evidence to use?

• The lengths of AC and BD are the same, therefore AC and BD are congruent

• The slopes of AC and BD are the same, therefore AC and BD are congruent

• The slopes of AB and BD are the same, therefore AC is perpendicular to BD

• The slopes of AB and BD are opposite reciprocals, therefore AC is perpendicular to BD.
