Lesson 6-4

Rectangles

• rectangle

• Recognize and apply properties of rectangles.

• Determine whether parallelograms are rectangles.

Standard 7.0 Students prove and use theorems involving the properties of parallel lines cut by a transversal, the properties of quadrilaterals, and the properties of circles. (Key)

Rectangle

• Def—A //ogram with 4 Right Angles

Properties of a Rectangle

• Rectangle Diagonals are • (Also has all the properties of a //ogram.)

Reminder

• Perpendicular lines have opposite reciprocal slopes.

– Prove the sides of a quadrilateral are perpendicular and you have proven it is a rectangle.

Quadrilateral ABCD has vertices A(–2, 1), B(4, 3), C(5, 0), and D(–1, –2). Determine whether ABCD is a rectangle using the Slope Formula.

Rectangle on a Coordinate Plane

Method 1: Use the Slope Formula, to see if

opposite sides are parallel and consecutive sides are

perpendicular.
