This document defines and describes the key geometric properties of triangles, quadrilaterals, and other polygons. It provides information on:
- The defining characteristics of different types of triangles based on their sides and angles, including equilateral, isosceles, scalene, right, acute, and obtuse triangles.
- The defining characteristics of different types of quadrilaterals based on their sides, angles, and diagonals, including squares, rectangles, rhombuses, parallelograms, trapezoids, isosceles trapezoids, right trapezoids, and kites.
- Basic definitions of polygons, quadrilateral, pentagon, hexagon

-all 3 sides equal -the sum of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the third side -all 3 angles equal -sum of interior angles is 180 degrees -all acute angles -all angles 60 degrees None -is acute
Isosceles Triangle
-2 sides are congruent (equal)
-2 angles are congruent - sum of interior angles is 180 degrees None -can be obtuse, acute, or right
Scalene Triangle
-no equal sides -no equal angles - sum of interior angles is 180 degrees None -can be obtuse, acute, or right
Right Triangle -can have 2 congruent sides -can have no equal sides
-1 right angle -2 other angles are acute -sum of interior angles is 180 degrees
None
Acute Triangle A triangle that contains only angles less than 90
Right Triangle A triangle that contains one 90 right angle
Obtuse Triangle A triangle that contains one angle greater than 90
Geometric Properties-Quadrilaterals Quadrilaterals Sides Angles Diagonals Other Square -4 congruent sides -opposite sides are parallel
-4 right angles -sum of interior angles is 360 degrees -diagonals are longer than sides -diagonals are perpendicular -diagonals are congruent -A square is a rectangle -A square is a rhombus -A square is a parallelogram Rectangle
-opposite sides are congruent -opposite sides are parallel -4 right angles - sum of interior angles is 360 degrees -opposite angles are congruent -diagonals are congruent -diagonals bisect each other -A rectangle is a parallelogram Rhombus
-all 4 sides are congruent -opposite sides are parallel -opposite angles are congruent -2 obtuse angles -2 acute angles -sum of interior angles is 360 degrees -diagonals are perpendicular and form four congruent right triangles -diagonals are NOT congruent (one diagonal longer than other) -A rhombus is a parallelogram Parallelogram
-opposite sides are congruent -opposite sides are parallel -opposite angles are congruent -2 acute angles -2 obtuse angles -sum of interior angles is 360 degrees -diagonals bisect each other
-Rectangles, Rhombuses, Squares are parallelograms Trapezoid
-exactly one pair of opposite sides are parallel -sum of interior angles is 360 degrees -Trapezoids can be isosceles or right Isosceles Trapezoid -one set of parallel sides -2 congruent sides (the non-parallel sides) -2 acute angles -2 obtuse angles -base angles are congruent -sum of interior angles is 360 degrees -diagonals are congruent
Right Trapezoid
-one set of parallel sides -no congruent sides -1 acute angle -1 obtuse angle -2 right angles -sum of interior angles is 360 degrees -diagonals are NOT congruent
Kite
-both pairs of adjacent sides are congruent -opposite sides are NOT congruent -one pair of opposite angles are congruent - sum of interior angles is 360 degrees -diagonals are perpendicular -A kite can have a right angle
Polygon
a closed plane figure with sides made from straight line segments Quadrilateral
