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 />

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 />
