    This document discusses properties of different types of quadrilaterals including squares, rectangles, rhombuses, parallelograms, trapezoids, and kites. It provides true/false statements about characteristics of these shapes and definitions for proving different quadrilaterals based on their properties, such as if a parallelogram has congruent diagonals it must be a rectangle.

    Honors Geometry
    True/False

    Every square is a rhombus.


    TRUE – four congruent sides
    True/False

    If the diagonals of a quadrilateral are


    perpendicular, then it is a rhombus.
    False – diagonals don’t have to be congruent
    or bisect each other.
    True/False

    The diagonals of a rectangle bisect its


    angles.
    FALSE (draw an EXTREME rectangle!)
    True/False

    A kite with all consecutive angles


    congruent must be a square.
    TRUE
    True/False

    Diagonals of trapezoids are congruent.


    FALSE – not always!
    True/False

    A parallelogram with congruent


    diagonals must be a rectangle.
    TRUE
    True/False

    Some rhombuses are rectangles.


    True – some rhombuses also
    have right angles
    True/False

    The diagonals of a rhombus are


    congruent.
    False – not always!
    True/False

    If the diagonals of a parallelogram are


    perpendicular, it must be a rhombus.
    TRUE
    True/False

    Diagonals of a parallelogram bisect the


    angles.
    FALSE
    True/False

    A quadrilateral that has diagonals that


    bisect and are perpendicular must be a
    square.
    FALSE (could be rhombus… right
    angles not guaranteed)
    Sometimes/Always/Never

    A kite with congruent diagonals is a


    square.
    FALSE – could be, but diagonals
    don’t have to bisect each other.
    Give the most descriptive name:

    A parallelogram with a right angle must


    be what kind of shape?
    Rectangle
    Give the most descriptive name:

    A rectangle with perpendicular diagonals


    must be what kind of shape?
    SQUARE
    Give the most descriptive name

    A rhombus with consecutive angles


    congruent must be a:
    SQUARE
    Give the most descriptive name:

    A parallelogram with diagonals that


    bisect its angles must be a:
    Rhombus
    Proving that a Quad is a Rectangle
     If a parallelogram contains at least one right angle, then it is a
    rectangle.
     If the diagonals of a parallelogram are congruent, then the
    parallelogram is a rectangle.
     If all four angles of a quadrilateral are right angles, then it is a
    rectangle.
    Proving that a Quad is a Kite
     If two disjoint pairs of consecutive sides of a quadrilateral are
    congruent, then it is a kite.
     If one of the diagonals of a quadrilateral is the perpendicular
    bisector of the other diagonal, then it is a kite.
    Proving that a Quad is a Rhombus
     If a parallelogram contains a pair of consecutive sides that are
    congruent, then it is a rhombus.
     If either diagonal of a parallelogram bisects two angles of the
    parallelogram, then it is a rhombus.
     If the diagonals of a quadrilateral are perpendicular bisectors
    of each other, then the quadrilateral is a rhombus.
    Proving that a Quad is a Square
     If a quadrilateral is both a rectangle and a rhombus, then it is
    a square.
    Proving that a Trapezoid is Isosceles
     If the non-parallel sides of a trapezoid are congruent, then it
    is isosceles.
     If the lower or upper base angles of a trapezoid are
    congruent, then it is isosceles.
     If the diagonals of a trapezoid are congruent, then it is
    isosceles.
