# Chapter 6: Polygons and Quadrilaterals

Difficulty Level: At Grade Created by: CK-12

## Introduction

This chapter starts with the properties of polygons and narrows to focus on quadrilaterals. We will study several different types of quadrilaterals: parallelograms, rhombi, rectangles, squares, kites and trapezoids. Then, we will prove that different types of quadrilaterals are parallelograms or something more specific.

## Summary

This chapter starts by introducing interior and exterior angles in polygons. Then, all special types of quadrilaterals are explored and classified, both on and off the coordinate plane.

### Chapter Review

Fill in the flow chart according to what you know about the quadrilaterals we have learned in this chapter.

Determine if the following statements are sometimes, always or never true.

1. A trapezoid is a kite.
2. A square is a parallelogram.
3. An isosceles trapezoid is a quadrilateral.
4. A rhombus is a square.
5. A parallelogram is a square.
6. A square is a kite.
7. A square is a rectangle.
8. A quadrilateral is a rhombus.

Table Summary

Determine if each quadrilateral has the given properties. If so, write yes or state how many sides (or angles) are congruent, parallel, or perpendicular.
