Can you draw a parallelogram on a coordinate plane (graph)?
How about an isosceles triangle?
How about a rhombus?
A trapezoid?
What do I need to know today?
Also, you need to recall some facts about various polygons:
TRIANGLES
Equilateral: all three sides and angles are equal.
Isosceles: two sides and angles are equal.
Scalene: not equilateral or isosceles.
PARALLELOGRAMS
Rhombus: four congruent sides, diagonals are perpendicular
Rectangle: two pairs of congruent sides, all angles are 90 degrees (the sides are perpendicular)
Square: four congruent sides and four 90 degree angles
Parallelogram: two sets of parallel sides (choose this if none of the others are true)
Let's do some examples!
Classify this triangle as isosceles, equilateral, or scalene.
Classify this as a rhombus, a square, a rectangle, or just a parallelogram.
Start your work with a neighbor and work on your own when you're ready!
