Honors Geometry
A quadrilateral with
perpendicular diagonals must
be a: _______________

Give the most descriptive name


Quadrilateral
(Diagonals don’t have to bisect each other
or be perpendicular!)

Answer
A parallelogram with
perpendicular diagonals must be
a: ______________

Give the most descriptive name


Rhombus
(Parallelogram diagonals must bisect each other. Diagonals
don’t have to be congruent, but are perpendicular. Forms
4 congruent triangles (SAS), so 4 congruent sides.)

Answer
A quadrilateral in which both
diagonals bisect the opposite
angles must be a
_________________.

Give the most descriptive name


Rhombus

Answer
A kite with congruent diagonals
must be a:
____________________

Give the most descriptive name


Kite – could be square, but given doesn’t
say diagonals have to bisect each other!
Could be:

Answer
A parallelogram with diagonals
bisecting opposite angles must
be a: ___________

Give the most descriptive name


Rhombus
(Opp. angles of parallelogram are congruent, so
halves of angles are congruent, forming isos.
triangles with congruent sides. Opp. sides of
parallelograms are congruent, so all 4 sides must
be congruent.

Answer
A rhombus with congruent
diagonals must be a:
___________________

Give the most descriptive name


Square

(A parallelogram with congruent diagonals


must be a rectangle, which has 4 rt.
angles. A rhombus has 4 congruent
sides. A shape with 4 congruent sides
and angles is a square!)

Answer
Give the most descriptive name:
Parallelogram
(Diagonals bisect each other)

Answer
Give the most descriptive name
Quadrilateral

(Diagonals do not have to be same length


or bisect each other. Could look like
diagram below: )

Answer
Give the most descriptive name
Quadrilateral

(Could be either trap or


parallelogram, so not enough
info to classify)

Answer
Give the most descriptive name
Kite

(One diagonal is perp. bis. of the other, so


the Equidistance Theorem applies)

Answer
Give the most descriptive name
Rhombus

(Bisecting diagonals means it must at least


be a parallelogram, but 4 congruent sides
makes it a rhombus.)

Answer
Give the most descriptive name
Quadrilateral – Could be isos. trapezoid,
but could also be parallelogram since it is
not stated that sides of length 8 AREN’T
parallel… categories don’t overlap, so it is
only known that the shape has 4 sides
