6.4 Rhombuses, Rectangles, and Squares

Day 4

Review

Find the value of the variables.

52°

68°

h

p

(2p-14)° 50°

52° + 68° + h = 180°

120° + h = 180 °

h = 60°

p + 50° + (2p – 14)° = 180°p + 2p + 50° - 14° = 180° 3p + 36° = 180° 3p = 144 °

p = 48 °

Special Parallelograms

Rhombus A rhombus is a parallelogram with four

congruent sides.

Special Parallelograms

Rectangle A rectangle is a parallelogram with four right

angles.

Special Parallelogram

Square A square is a parallelogram with four

congruent sides and four right angles.

Corollaries

Rhombus corollary A quadrilateral is a rhombus if and only if it

has four congruent sides.

Rectangle corollary A quadrilateral is a rectangle if and only if it

has four right angles.

Square corollary A quadrilateral is a square if and only if it is a

rhombus and a rectangle.

Example

PQRS is a rhombus. What is the value of b?

P Q

RS

2b + 3

5b – 6

2b + 3 = 5b – 6 9 = 3b 3 = b

Review

In rectangle ABCD, if AB = 7f – 3 and CD = 4f + 9, then f = ___

A) 1

B) 2

C) 3

D) 4

E) 5

7f – 3 = 4f + 9

3f – 3 = 9

3f = 12

f = 4

Example

PQRS is a rhombus. What is the value of b?

P Q

RS

3b + 12

5b – 6

3b + 12 = 5b – 6 18 = 2b 9 = b
