16_2_Proving_Rectangles
All squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles are squares. Or something like that.
TEKS
Geometry 4(A) distinguish between undefined terms, definitions, postulates, conjectures, and theorems
Geometry 5(A) investigate patterns to make conjectures about geometric relationships, including angles formed by parallel lines cut by a transversal, criteria required for triangle congruence, special segments of triangles, diagonals of quadrilaterals, interior and exterior angles of polygons, and special segments and angles of circles choosing from a variety of tools
Geometry 6(B) prove two triangles are congruent by applying the Side-Angle-Side, Angle-Side-Angle,Side-Side-Side, Angle-Angle-Side, and Hypotenuse-Leg congruence conditions
Geometry 6(E) prove a quadrilateral is a parallelogram, rectangle, square, or rhombus using opposite sides, opposite angles, or diagonals and apply these relationships to solve problems
