6-4 Properties of Rhombuses, Rectangles, and Squares

Objectives

To define and classify special types of parallelograms

To use properties of diagonals of rhombuses and rectangles

A Solve It problem demonstrates creating parallelograms.
Image Long Description

In the Solve It, you formed a special type of parallelogram with characteristics that you will study in this lesson.

Essential Understanding The parallelograms in the Take Note box below have basic properties about their sides and angles that help identify them. The diagonals of these parallelograms also have certain properties.
