Comparing Special Quadrilaterals—Let's Practice!
Basics on the topic Comparing Special Quadrilaterals—Let's Practice!
Today we are comparing special quadrilaterals with Razzi! This video contains examples to help you further practice and grow confident in this topic.
Transcript Comparing Special Quadrilaterals—Let's Practice!
Razzi says get these items ready (...) Because today we're going to practice... Comparing Special Quadrilaterals. It's time to begin! Compare and contrast the attributes in these SPECIAL quadrilaterals: a PARALLELOGRAM and a KITE. Pause the video (...) and press play when you are ready to see the solution! Both shapes have four sides with two pairs equal in length. A parallelogram's opposite sides are equal... and parallel. It's opposite angles are also equal. A kite's adjacent sides, or sides next to each other, are equal... and one pair of its opposite angles are equal. It also has no parallel sides. Did you find these attributes? Let's tackle the final problem! Compare and contrast the attributes in these SPECIAL quadrilaterals: a TRAPEZOID and a RECTANGLE. Pause the video (...) and press play when you are ready to see the solution! Both shapes have four sides. A trapezoid has one pair of equal sides... and one pair of parallel sides. It also has equal adjacent angles. A rectangle's opposite sides are equal... and it has two pairs of parallel sides. And ALL its angles are equal. Did you find these attributes? Razzi had so much fun practicing with you today! See you next time!

- 2 pairs of sides equal in length
- opposite sides equal
- opposite angles equal
-
What are some attributes of these special quadrilaterals?
HintsThis is a parallelogram. What do you notice about the opposite sides?
This is a trapezoid. What do you notice about one pair of sides?
A rectangle has equal angles. What do you notice about all of the angles?
SolutionThese are some attributes of special quadrilaterals.
-
What attribute do these special quadrilaterals have in common?
HintsThis kite has one pair of opposite angles. What do you notice about the angles?
This trapezoid has one pair of sides. What do you notice about the sides?
SolutionThese special quadrilaterals share only one common attribute: they all have four sides.
