Connecting BIG ideas and Answering the Essential Questions

1 Measurement
You can find the sum of the interior angle measures of any polygon using a formula based on its number of sides.
Polygon Angle-Sum Theorems (Lesson 6-1)
cap sum equals . open n minus 2 close 180 comma  where n is the number of sides
 
2 Reasoning and Proof
If you know certain information about the sides, angles, or diagonals of a quadrilateral, you can classify it.
Parallelograms (Lessons 6-2 and 6-3)
Parallelograms include quadrilaterals with two pairs of parallel sides, opposite sides and angles congruent, and diagonals bisecting each other.
Special Parallelograms (Lessons 6-4 and 6-5) A parallelogram has all sides congruent.

Rhombus

A parallelogram has four right angles.

Rectangle

A parallelogram has all sides congruent and four right angles.

Square

Trapezoids and Kites (Lesson 6-6) A quadrilateral has a pair of parallel sides.

Trapezoid

A quadrilateral has two pairs of consecutive congruent sides.

Kite

Coordinate Proofs (Lesson 6-9)
A graph of a rectangle has vertices O(0, 0), A(a, 0), B(0, b), and C(a, b). A graph of a triangle has vertices A(a, 0), B(negative a, 0), and C(0, b).
3 Coordinate Geometry
Coordinate proofs use variable coordinates to prove relationships in the coordinate plane.
