Classifying Quadrilaterals: Slope and the Distance Formula
Objective
Use slope and the Distance Formula to classify quadrilaterals.
About Geometry Worksheet Assignment 9.4:
Assignment 9.4 is an introduction to using both the Distance and slope formulas in classifying quadrilaterals in the coordinate plane as parallelograms, trapezoids, rhombuses, rectangles, squares, or kites.
Prerequisite Skills: Find the distance between two points using the Distance formula (Assignment 9.2). Find the slopes of a line through two points (Assignment 1.8). Classify quadrilaterals by congruent sides (Assignment 3.19). Use slopes to determine whether lines are perpendicular (Assignment 2.18). Classify quadrilaterals with right angles (Assignment 3.20).
