What is the measure of an exterior angle in a regular polygon?
What are some properties of all parallelograms?
- Opposite sides are congruent
- Opposite angles are congruent
- The consecutive angles are supplemtary
- The diagonlas bisect each other
- Opposite sides are paralell
How can you prove a quadrilateral to be a parallelogram?
- Opposite sides are congruent
- Opposite angles are congruent
- One pair of opposite sides is both parallel and congruent
- Diagnols bisect each other
What is a rhombus?

A parallelogram with four congruent sides.
How do you prove a rhombus?
- All four sides are congruent (DO not need to prove that it is a parallelogram)
- Prove that it is a parallelogram with two adjacent sides congruent.
- Prove that it is a parallologram and its dignols are perpindicular.
- Prove that it is a parallelogram with diagnols that bisect each other.
What is a rectangle?

A parallelogram with four right angles.
How can you prove a rectangle?
- Four right angles (without proving it a parallelogram)
- Prove that it is a parallelogram with one right angle/two perpindicular lines.
- Prove that it is a prallelogram and diagnols are congruent.
What is a square?

A parallelogram with four right angles and four congruent sides.
How do you prove a square?
- Prove that it has all of the qualities of BOTH a rectangle and a rhombus.
- It must contain four right angles, and four congruent sides.
What is a trapezoid?

A quadrilaterla with exactly one pair of parallel bases sides.
What is an isosceles trapezoid?

A trapezoid with congurent base angles.
How do you prove a trapezoid?

Find one pair of opposite parallel sides, and find one pair opposite pair to not be congruent.
How can you prove an isosceles trapezoid?
- Prove that it is a trapezoid with two pairs of congruent angles.
- Find that the it is a trapezoid and that legs are congruent.
- Find that it is a trapezoid and that the dianols are congruent.
What is the midsegment of a trapezoid?

A segment that connects the midpoints of the legs of a triangle.
What is important about the midsegment of a trapezoid?

It is parallel to the bases and is the the average of the two bases.
What is a kite?
