Quadrilateral Family Tree
Using the applet on the previous slide, determine the properties of rhombus. Since a rhombus is a parallelogram, it will have all SIX parallelogram properties. A rhombus will also have an additional THREE "special" properties that distinguishes them from other parallelograms
Both pairs of opposite sides are congruent
4 right angles (Equiangular quadrilateral)
Both pairs of opposite angles are congruent
Diagonals bisect its angles
Only one pair of opposite sides parallel
Both pairs of opposite sides are parallel
Diagonals are congruent.
4 congruent sides (Equilateral quadrilateral)
A diagonal divides the parallelogram into two congruent triangles
Diagonals bisect each other
Diagonals are perpendicular.
Consecutive angles are supplementary
Only one pair of opposite sides congruent

When using coordinate geometry to prove that a quadrilateral is a rhombus:
STEP 1 - Find the LENGTH (distance formula) of all 4 sides.
STEP 2 - Prove that quad is a parallelogram by showing that both pairs of opposite sides are congruent (2 sets of equal distances/lengths)
STEP 3 - Prove that parallelogram is a rhombus by showing that one pair of consecutive sides are congruent
Quadrilateral NATS has coordinates N(−4,−3), A(1,2), T(8,1), and S(3,−4). Prove quadrilateral NATS is a rhombus. [The use of the set of axes below is optional.]

Using the applet on the previous slide, determine the properties of square. Since a square is a parallelogram, it will have all SIX parallelogram properties. Since a square is a rectangle , it will have the TWO rectangle properties. Since a square is a rhombus, it will also have the THREE rhombus properties.
