Today we began our analysis of more complex trapezoids and their definitions. We are attempting to create a ladder of quadrilaterals using their definitions. Our ladder will go from Rigid < -------------------to---------------------> Loose Today we identified trapezoids - a four sided figure with one pair of parallel lines as loose when compared to rectangles which have a more rigid definition. Check out some possible trapezoids: Classwork: [gview file="https://www.whsad.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/Lesson-4-Activity-Sheet.docx"] … [Read more...]

So we can create a rectangle with four equal sides and that special rectangle will be called a square. This statement doesn't work the other way. Clearly not every rectangle is a square. Check the example below: Classwork is attached below: [gview file="https://www.whsad.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/Lesson-3-Activity-Sheet.docx"] … [Read more...]
