  1. 6.6 • Identify special quadrilaterals based on limited information. • EQ: How do we identify different types of quadrilaterals?

  2. Example 1 Use Properties of Quadrilaterals Determine whether the quadrilateral is a trapezoid, parallelogram, rectangle, rhombus, or square. SOLUTION Diagonals of the quadrilateral bisect each other. The quadrilateral is a parallelogram. You cannot conclude that ABCD is a rectangle, rhombus, or square because no information about the sides or angles.

  3. Example 2 Identify a Rhombus Are you given enough information in the diagram to conclude that ABCD is a square? Explain your reasoning. SOLUTION The diagram shows that all four sides are congruent. Therefore, you know that it is a rhombus. The diagram does not give any information about the angle measures, so you cannot conclude that ABCD is square.

  4. Example 3 SOLUTION 1. EFGHis a trapezoidsince E and F are supplementary, so FG is parallel to EH Identify a Trapezoid Are you given enough information in the diagram to conclude that EFGH is an isosceles trapezoid? Explain your reasoning. The upper base angles are congruent & the lower base angles as well. Therefore, EFGH is an isosceles trapezoid.

  5. Checkpoint Identify Quadrilaterals Are you given enough information to conclude that the figure is the given type of special quadrilateral? Explain your reasoning. 1. A square? ANSWER No; all four angles are right angles, so the figure is a rectangle. There is no information about the sides, so you cannot conclude that PQRS is a square.

  6. Checkpoint Identify Quadrilaterals Are you given enough information to conclude that the figure is the given type of special quadrilateral? Explain your reasoning. 2. A rhombus? ANSWER No; both pairs of opposite angles are congruent, so the figure is a parallelogram. There is no information about the sides, so you cannot conclude that WXYZ is a rhombus.

  7. Checkpoint ANSWER || Yes; L and M are supplementary, so KL JM by the Same-Side Interior Angles Converse. Since J and M are not supplementary, KJ is not parallel to LM. The figure has exactly one pair of parallel sides, so it is a trapezoid. Identify Quadrilaterals Are you given enough information to conclude that the figure is the given type of special quadrilateral? Explain your reasoning. 3. A trapezoid?
