![]() For instance, a rhombus and a parallelogram both consist of two sets of parallel lines in which opposite sides are congruent however, they differ in that all sides are congruent for a rhombus whereas only opposing sides of a parallelogram are congruent. You can simply draw the figures that you would like to compare and then see what properties they have in common and how they differ. Geogebra allows its user to easily see how quadrilaterals are related. In CTSE, I discovered that you can create a square out of a kite and a parallelogram out of a trapezoid! I simply drew a kite using Geogebra and then moved the vertices around until I had all of the sides equal and all angles 90 degrees, thus forming a square. ![]() Geogebra makes these questions seem relatively simple, because it allows you to easily see the relationships between quadrilaterals. Can you make a parallelogram out of a trapezoid? How about a square out of kite? These questions may seem quite difficult to answer.
