What makes a quadrilateral a rhombus?
Rhombuses Or Rhombi
A rhombus is an
equilateral
parallelogram.
Four congruent
sides.

If AB BC CD DA,
then ABCD is a rhombus.
Rhombi
Since rhombi are parallelograms, they
have all the properties of a
parallelogram.
Opposite sides are || and ≅.
Opposite s are ≅.
Consecutive s are supplementary.
Diagonals bisect each other.
In addition, rhombi have one other
property, which is a theorem.

By definition, all sides of a
rhombus are congruent.

Rectangles
What makes a quadrilateral a
rectangle?
Rectangles
A rectangle is an
equiangular
parallelogram.
All angles are
congruent.
What must each
angle be then?
Four right angles.
Rectangle Corollary
If a quadrilateral
has four right
angles, then it is a
rectangle.
Rectangles
Since rectangles are parallelograms, they
have all their properties:
Opposite sides are || and ≅.
Opposite s are ≅.
Consecutive s are supplementary.
Diagonals bisect each other.
In addition, rectangles have their own
special property, which leads us to our next
theorem.
Theorem 6.11
Diagonals of a Rectangle are
congruent.
Review: Properties of Rectangles
1) All four s are right s (def. of rectangle).
2) Opposite sides are || and ≅ (prop. of
parallelogram).
3) Opposite s are ≅ (prop. of parallelogram).
4) Consecutive s are supplementary (prop.
of parallelogram).
5) Diagonals bisect each other (prop. of
parallelogram).
6) Diagonals are ≅ (theorem 6.11).

and
Example 4
A rectangular garden gate is reinforced with
diagonal braces to prevent it from sagging. If
JK = 12 feet, and LN = 6.5 feet, find KM.
Example 4
Since JKLM is a rectangle, it is a
parallelogram. The diagonals of
a parallelogram bisect each
other, so LN = JN.
LN = 6.5 feet
JN + LN = JL
Segment Addition
LN + LN = JL
Substitution
2LN = JL
2(6.5) = JL
13 = JL
Simplify.
Substitution
Simplify.
Example 4
JL KM
If a is a rectangle,
diagonals are .
JL = KM
Definition of congruence
13 = KM
Substitution
Answer: KM = 13 feet
Your Turn:
Quadrilateral EFGH is a rectangle. If GH = 6 feet
and FH = 15 feet, find GJ.
A. 3 feet
B. 7.5 feet
C. 9 feet
D. 12 feet
Example 5
Quadrilateral RSTU is a rectangle. If mRTU =
8x + 4 and mSUR = 3x – 2, find x.
Example 5
Since RSTU is a rectangle, it has four
right angles.
So, mTUR = 90. The diagonals of a
rectangle bisect each other and are
congruent, so PT PU. Since triangle
PTU is isosceles, the base angles are
congruent so RTU SUT and
mRTU = mSUT.
mRTU = 8x + 4
mSUR = 3x – 2
mSUT + mSUR = 90
Angle Addition
mRTU + mSUR = 90
Substitution
8x + 4 + 3x – 2 = 90
Substitution
11x + 2 = 90
Add like terms.
Example 5
11x = 88
x = 8
Answer: x = 8
Subtract 2 from each
side.

DEFG is a square
DG = 5X + 5
EF = 7X – 19
E
7X – 19
F
Find the value for X and the lenght of the
side.
Since all sides are congruent:
5X + 5 = 7X – 19
-5X
-5X
5 = 2X – 19
+19
+19
24 = 2X
2
2
Now since all sides are congruent,
we need to find the length of just
one side:
DG = 5X + 5
= 5(12 ) + 5
= 60 + 5
= 65
X=12
The length of the side is 65.
Your Turn:

HIJK is a square
KH =9X – 3
IJ = 6X + 24
J
6X + 24
I
Find the value for X and the lenght of the
side.
Since all sides are congruent:
9X – 3 = 6X + 24
-6X
-6X
3X – 3 = 24
+3 +3
3x = 27
3
3
Now since all sides are congruent,
we need to find the length of just
one side:
KH = 9X – 3
= 9( 9 ) – 3
= 81 – 3
= 78
X=9
The length of the side is 78.

Review Problems
Example 1
In the diagram, ABCD is a rectangle.
a. Find AD and AB.
b. Find mA, mB, mC, and mD.
SOLUTION
a. By definition, a rectangle is a parallelogram, so
ABCD is a parallelogram. Because opposite sides
of a parallelogram are congruent, AD = BC = 5 and
AB = DC = 8.
b. By definition, a rectangle has four right angles, so
mA = mB = mC = mD = 90°.
Your Turn:
In the diagram, PQRS is a rhombus.
Find QR, RS, and SP.
ANSWER
QR = 6, RS = 6, SP = 6
Example 2
Use the information in the diagram
to name the special quadrilateral.
SOLUTION
The quadrilateral has four right angles. So, by the
Rectangle Corollary, the quadrilateral is a rectangle.
Because all of the sides are not the same length, you
know that the quadrilateral is not a square.
Your Turn:
Use the information in the diagram to name the
special quadrilateral.

ANSWER

Example 3
ABCD is a rhombus. Find the value of x.
SOLUTION
By Theorem 6.10, the diagonals of a rhombus are
perpendicular. Therefore, BEC is a right angle, so
∆BEC is a right triangle.
By the Corollary to the Triangle Sum Theorem, the
acute angles of a right triangle are complementary.
So, x = 90 – 60 = 30.
Example 4
a. You nail four pieces of wood together
to build a four-sided frame, as shown.
What is the shape of the frame?
b. The diagonals measure 7 ft 4 in. and
7 ft 2 in. Is the frame a rectangle?
SOLUTION
a. The frame is a parallelogram because both pairs of
opposite sides are congruent.
b. The frame is not a rectangle because the diagonals
are not congruent.
Your Turn:
Find the value of x.
