Special Parallelograms
Geometry
Unit 12, Day 3
Ms. Reed
For this lesson, you will need: 2 index cards A ruler A protractor Scissors Piece of Tape
Exploration
1. Mark a point somewhere along the bottom edge of your index card.
2. Draw a line from that point to the top right corner of the rectangle to form a triangle.

3. Cut along this line to remove the triangle.
4. Attach the triangle to the left side of the rectangle.
5. What shape have you created?
opposite sides parallel
opposite side congruent
opposite angles are congruent
diagonals bisect each other

Parallelogram Properties:
Back to your card…

1. Fold along CD so that it lies along AD creating line ED.
2. Cut along CE and discard the excess section (ABEC).
3. Unfold the quadrilateral.
4. Is this a parallelogram? C

5. Measure the length of the 4 sides. What is the relationship of the sides?
6. Draw diagonal DE.
7. Measure FED, DEC, FDE, and CDE. What is the relationship of these angles?

8. Draw diagonal FC.
9. Measure EFC, CFD, ECF, and FCD. What is the relationship of these angles?
10. Measure the 4 angles formed where the diagonals intersect. What is the measure of these angles?
Properties of a Rhombus

has 4 congruent sides (def)
opposite sides are parallel
opposite sides are congruent
opposite angles are congruent
diagonals bisect each other
diagonals bisect opposite angles
diagonals are perpendicular
Take out a new index card…
1. Is your card a parallelogram? Why?
2. What is the relationship of the 4 angles of your card?
3. What is the name of this quadrilateral?
4. Measure the length of each diagonal. What conjecture can you make regarding the lengths of the diagonals of a rectangle?
Properties of a Rectangle

opposite sides parallel
opposite sides congruent
diagonals are congruent (AC = BD)
diagonals bisect each other
has congruent (right) angles (definition)
Back to the index card…
1. Fold the corner of your card down to make a triangle. Cut off the rectangle at the bottom edge and unfold the card.
2. Is this quadrilateral A parallelogram? A rectangle? A rhombus?

Back to the index card…
3. Use your ruler to draw two diagonals of the quadrilateral.
4. Measure the angles formed by the side of the quadrilateral and the diagonal. What conjecture can you make about these angles?
5. What is the name of this quadrilateral?

Properties of a Square
Diagrams from: http://www.algebralab.org/lessons/lesson.aspx?file=Geometry_QuadrilateralsSpecialCharactieristics.xml
has 4 congruent sides and 4 congruent (right) angles
opposite sides parallel
opposite angles congruent (all right)
diagonals are congruent (AC=BD)
diagonals bisect each other
diagonals bisect opposite angles all bisected angles equal 45ºdiagonals are perpendicular
