Math Problem Statement

Classify the following quadrilaterals based on their properties.

Solution

This worksheet asks you to classify quadrilaterals based on their most specific properties. I'll analyze each quadrilateral and provide the appropriate classification.

Analysis:

  1. Quadrilateral 4:

    • Opposite sides are congruent (indicated by single and double hash marks).
    • Diagonals are not marked as perpendicular or bisecting.
    • Classification: Parallelogram.
  2. Quadrilateral 5:

    • Opposite sides are congruent and parallel.
    • Diagonals are marked as perpendicular (forming right angles at the intersection).
    • Classification: Rhombus.
  3. Quadrilateral 6:

    • All sides are congruent.
    • Opposite angles are congruent.
    • Diagonals are perpendicular and bisect each other.
    • Classification: Square (a specific type of rhombus and rectangle).
  4. Quadrilateral 7:

    • Opposite sides are congruent and parallel.
    • No markings indicate the diagonals' relationships.
    • Classification: Parallelogram.
  5. Quadrilateral 8:

    • All angles are marked as right angles (90°).
    • Opposite sides are parallel and congruent.
    • Classification: Rectangle.
  6. Quadrilateral 9:

    • All sides are congruent.
    • Opposite angles are equal.
    • Diagonals bisect each other and form right angles.
    • Classification: Square.
  7. Quadrilateral 10:

    • Opposite sides are parallel and congruent.
    • No additional markings for angles or diagonals.
    • Classification: Parallelogram.
  8. Quadrilateral 11:

    • All angles are right angles (90°).
    • Opposite sides are parallel and congruent.
    • Classification: Rectangle.
