    Overview

    The purpose of this lesson is to identify key quadrilaterals and properties about their angles and sides.

    This lesson will address the following CCRS Standard(s) for Geometry:

    • 7.G.6: Solve real-world and mathematical problems involving area, volume and surface area of two- and three- dimensional objects composed of triangles, quadrilaterals, polygons, cubes, and right prisms

    Summary

    In this lesson we have learned:

    • The angles of a quadrilateral (four sides) add to 360o
    • Kites have two pairs of congruent sides that are consecutive
    • Parallelograms are quadrilaterals with opposite sides parallel
      • Opposite angles are congruent
      • Consecutive angles are supplementary
    • Rectangles are parallelograms with congruent (right) angles
    • Rhombi are parallelograms with congruent sides
    • Squares are parallelograms with congruent (right) angles and sides
    • Trapezoids only have one set of parallel sides
