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 />

7. e.g.,<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 />
