What are parallelograms?
Being a quadrilateral with both pairs of opposites sides makes any figure a member of this not so exclusive club.
1,4
What is a kite?
Spanish for “cometa” this quadrilateral has two pairs of consecutive congruent sides, but the opposite side lengths are not congruent.
2,1
What is similar?
Figures that share a resemblance. Also figures that are the same shape but not necessarily the same size.
2,3
What is an rectangle?
A convex quadrilateral that has two sets of parallel sides, diagonals that bisect each other, and four right angles.
2,4
What is 13 units?
Using the Pythagorean theorem with the right triangles formed by the kite’s diagonals would allow us to find the length TU.
3,1
What is an equilateral triangle?
There is a much more “normal” way to say equiangular, equilateral, convex and nine sided.
3,2
What is “they bisect each other”?
This important quality is a characteristic of the diagonals of quadrilaterals that are also parallelograms.
3,3
What are squares?
I could see how you were confused awhile ago, but yes I am both rectangle, and rhombus. No apology necessary.
4,1
What is the midsegment of the trapezoid?
Parallel to each base, this length is as long the average of the bases in any trapezoid.
4,2
What is a kite?
Of the following I am definitively not a parallelogram.•Rhombus•Kite•Square•Rectangle
4,3
What is an isosceles trapezoid?
I’m often called my brother’s name but don’t fall into that “trap” in addition to having parallel bases my legs are also congruent.
5,1
What is (n-2) x 180 P.I.A.T.?
By sub-dividing convex polygons into triangles a mathematician was able to come up with this theorem for finding the interior angle measures for a polygon.
