Rhombus Sides

All sides of a Rhombus are congruent. Therefore, AB= BC = CD = AD

Diagonals of a Rhombus

Diagonals are perpendicular.

AOD = 90 AOB = 90 BOC = 90 COD = 90

A parallelogram is quadrilateral comprised of two pairs of parallel lines. There are several rules involving

the angles of a parallelogram the sides of a parallelogram the diagonals of a parallelogram

Free Math Printable Worksheets: 1) Classify Quadrilateral as parallelogram (a classic activity: have the students construct a quadrilateral and its midpoints, then create an inscribed quadrilateral. Then ask the students to measure the angles, sides etc.. of inscribed shape and use the measurements to classify the shape(parallelogram).

Interactive Parallelogram (see full size ) The full size interactive parallelogram has additional features such as the lengths of the diagonals.

The parallelogram on the left is formed by two pairs of parallel lines. Line x is parallel to line y, and line S is parallel to

line T Line X and Y are parallel, as are T and S. Click on the button below to turn the pure parallel lines into a

parallelogram. Answer

Angles of A Parallelogram
In the parallelogram on the left, parallelogram ABCD, the opposite angles are the ones that are in opposite corners such as X and Z W and Y Opposite angles of a parallelogram are congruent. Triangles can be used to prove this rule about the opposite angle. . Consecutive angles are the ones that are adjacent (next to each other) X and Y and Z and W and X Y Z W

Consecutive angles are supplementary. To explore these rules governing the angles of a parallelogram use Math Warehouse's interactive parallelogram.
