Example 1<br />

Elena is a pastry chef in Fort Qu’Appelle. She cut these square<br />

pastries along a diagonal. This makes two congruent triangles.<br />

What other quadrilaterals have this property<br />

Solution<br />

A. Draw diagonals to form triangles. Use a different colour for<br />

each diagonal in each quadrilateral.<br />

quadrilateral 2<br />

irregular<br />

a quadrilateral<br />

with different<br />

side lengths and<br />

different angle<br />

measures<br />

concave<br />

a polygon with an<br />

interior angle that<br />

is greater than 1808<br />

ReflecTinG<br />

How do you know<br />

if each result is<br />

a property of all<br />

quadrilaterals<br />

that are the same<br />

type Use side<br />

lengths to explain.<br />

Example 2<br />

Tessa is a carpenter in Whitehorse. She needs to check that<br />

a window frame is a rectangle. She only has a tape measure.<br />

How can she use the properties of a rectangle to check<br />

Solution<br />

A. Measure the side lengths and diagonals in each quadrilateral.<br />

Record them on the diagrams.<br />

B. How can Tessa use the properties of a rectangle<br />

NEL<br />

If the window frame is a rectangle, the opposite sides<br />

are equal and the diagonals are equal .<br />
