Parallelogram

A B

D C

Sides: Opposite sides are parallel and equal.

Angles: Opposite angles are equal. Consecutive angles are supplementary.

Diagonals: Diagonals bisect each other.

Quick test: If both pairs of opposite sides are parallel, ABCD is a parallelogram.
Rhombus

D B

Sides: All sides are equal. Opposite sides are parallel.

Angles: Opposite angles are equal. Diagonals bisect vertex angles.

Diagonals: Diagonals bisect each other at right angles.


Rectangle

A B

D C

Sides: Opposite sides are parallel and equal.

Angles: All angles are 90°.

Diagonals: Diagonals bisect each other and are equal in length.


Square

A B

D C

Sides: All sides are equal; opposite sides are parallel.

Angles: All angles are 90°.

Diagonals: Diagonals are equal, bisect each other, and are perpendicular.
Trapezium

A B

D C

Sides: One pair of opposite sides is parallel (AB ■ CD).

Angles: Consecutive interior angles on parallel sides are supplementary.

Diagonals: Diagonals intersect but do not generally bisect each other.


Kite

D B

Sides: Two pairs of adjacent equal sides (AB = AD, BC = CD).

Angles: One pair of opposite angles are equal (at A and C if symmetric).

Diagonals: Diagonals are perpendicular; one diagonal bisects the other.
