See Lesson 6-4.

Find the measures of the numbered angles in each rhombus.

  1. A rhombus has a diagonal from bottom left to top right, forming two triangles. The left triangle has top left angle measuring 128 degrees. The right triangle has angle 1 at the bottom right, angle 2 at the bottom left, and angle 3 at the top right.
  2. A rhombus has a diagonal from top left to bottom right, forming two triangles. The left triangle has top angle measuring 57 degrees. The right triangle has angle 1 at the top left, angle 2 at the bottom, and angle 3 at the top right.
  3. A rhombus has two diagonals forming four triangles. The triangle on the right has angle 1 at the intersection, angle 2 at the bottom, and angle 32 degrees at the top. The bottom triangle has angle 3 at the intersection.

See Lesson 2-3.

Write the two conditionals as a biconditional.

  1. If a parallelogram is a rhombus, then its diagonals are perpendicular.

    If the diagonals of a parallelogram are perpendicular, then the parallelogram is a rhombus.

  2. If a parallelogram is a rectangle, then its diagonals are congruent.

    If the diagonals of a parallelogram are congruent, then the parallelogram is a rectangle.

Algebra Find the values of the variables. Then find the lengths of the sides.

  1. A quadrilateral has two congruent adjacent sides measuring 4.5 and b minus 2.3, and other two congruent sides measuring a minus 1.4 and 2a minus 7.
  2. A quadrilateral has top side measuring 4.8, bottom side measuring 5y + 1.4, and left and right sides congruent measuring 4y + 6 and 7y minus 3.
  3. A quadrilateral has two congruent adjacent sides measuring 3m and n, and other two congruent sides measuring 7m minus 14 and n + 6.
