What is a parallelogram?
A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with both pairs
of opposite sides parallel.
Properties of Every Parallelogram: Both pairs of opposite sides are
congruent. Both pairs of opposite angles are
congruent. Consecutive adjacent angles are
supplementary. Diagonals bisect each other.

What is a rectangle?
A rectangle is a parallelogram with four right angles.
What are the properties of a rectangle? All the properties of every
parallelogram. (What are these properties?)
All four angles are right angles. The diagonals are congruent.
What is a rhombus?
A rhombus is a parallelogram with four congruent sides.
What are the properties of a rhombus? All the properties of every
parallelogram. The diagonals are perpendicular. Each diagonal bisects two angles
of the rhombus.
What is a square?
A square is a parallelogram with four right angles and four
congruent sides.
What are the properties of a square? A square has all the properties of
every parallelogram. A square has all the properties of a
rectangle. A square has all the properties of a
rhombus. A square is a parallelogram, a
rectangle, and a rhombus!
Summary Slide What is a parallelogram? Properties of Every Parallelogram: What is a rectangle? What are the properties of a rectangle? What is a rhombus? What are the properties of a rhombus? What is a square? What are the properties of a square?
Your turn:
1. Do: On your paper, list the properties of a square.
2. Think: How can you use these properties to determine the measures of sides, angles, and diagonals of a parallelogram? Be ready to share your thoughts!
