Hey class. I did the blog post to get it over with. Anyways, we did some pretty interesting stuff.
For example, how to properly name a shape. Take, for example, this PENTAGON:
This pentagon could be named: ABCDE, AEDCB, and BAEDC. This pentagon could not be named: DACEB.
See the patterns? Self explanatory.
Then, we also learned the simplest definitions of shapes. I'll list them and their definitions here:
Quadrilateral: If and only if (Iff) four sided polygon
Parallelogram: Iff quadrilateral with parallel opposite sides
Rectangle: Iff parallelogram w/ at least 1 right angle
Rhombus (plural rhombi): iff parallelogram w/ at least two consecutive sides
Square: Iff a rectangle and a rhombus.
Kite: Iff quadrilateral w/ 2 pairs disjointed and consecutive sides
Trapezoid: Iff quadrilateral w/ exactly one pair of parallel sides
