5. Jay makes picture frames. The interior angles of the<br />
square picture frame have a sum of 3608. How can you<br />
draw a diagonal to show that all quadrilaterals have<br />
this property<br />
e.g., I looked at one diagonal in each quadrilateral<br />
in Example 1. You get two triangles. The sum of the<br />
interior angles of each triangle is 1808. The sum of the<br />
interior angles of both triangles is 2(1808) 5 3608.<br />
6. An isosceles trapezoid is cut from an isosceles triangle.<br />
It has two equal sides and two parallel sides. The parallel<br />
sides are called bases.<br />
a) Use the isosceles triangle at the right. Draw a line parallel<br />
to the base to make an isosceles triangle. Measure to<br />
check that there are two equal side lengths in the<br />
trapezoid.<br />
b) What are two properties of your isosceles trapezoid<br />
e.g., one pair of equal sides and two pairs of equal<br />
angles OR equal diagonals<br />
c) Compare your isosceles trapezoid with isosceles<br />
trapezoids drawn by your classmates. What is one<br />
property that is shared by all the isosceles trapezoids<br />

7. When you join the midpoints of all four sides of a quadrilateral,<br />
you always get the same type of polygon. Test some<br />
quadrilaterals. What is the polygon<br />
parallelogram<br />
4(90°) 360°<br />
Hint<br />
Think about<br />
• side lengths<br />
• angle measures<br />
• diagonals<br />

8. Darcy is cutting glass for a window that is a rhombus. She<br />
knows that the sides are 10 in. long.<br />
Does she have all the information she needs to cut the glass<br />
Explain. Include a diagram.<br />
No. e.g., She also needs to know the angle measures. There are<br />
many rhombuses such as a square with the same side lengths.<br />
