Describe, classify, and compare relationships among quadrilaterals including the square, rectangle, rhombus, parallelogram, trapezoid, and kite.
Remarks
This benchmark examines properties of quadrilaterals one at a time.
Example: Explore a trapezoid through manipulatives, drawings and/or technology. Draw the diagonals and determine whether they are perpendicular. Give a convincing argument that your judgment is correct.

Body of Knowledge: Geometry
Idea: Level 2: Basic Application of Skills & Concepts
Standard: Quadrilaterals - Classify and understand relationships among quadrilaterals (rectangle, parallelogram, kite, etc.). Relate geometry to algebra by using coordinate geometry to determine regularity, congruence, and similarity. Use properties of congruent and similar quadrilaterals to solve problems involving lengths and areas, and prove theorems involving quadrilaterals.
