Study Guide
What do I need to know for the upcoming assessment?
Properties of Quadrilaterals:
 Identify a quadrilateral given the properties of the shape
 Identify the commonalities of given shapes based on properties
 Identify the differences in shapes based on properties
 Vocabulary:
congruent, opposite, parallel, and adjacent
 The sum of the angles in every quadrilateral is
 Find the measure of a missing angle.
Congruency:
 Shapes are congruent when they are exactly the same size and shape
 Shapes that are the same, but different size they are similar
Review Topic: Inequalities
 Identify an equality based on a given graph
