Pre-Algebra Quadrilaterals
Warm-Up
Directions: Simplify each expression by combining like terms. 1. 2. 3.

4. Solve. (Hint: Combine like terms first.)

Part I Directions: Identify the following geometric figure in two ways.

1. A ________________________ is a set of points that extends indefinitely in two directions. 2. A straight _________________________has sides that form a line and whose measure is ____________.

Part II: Triangles Lets connect what we know about a straight angle in order to determine the sum of the interior angles of a triangle. Recall that a triangle is a closed figure or _________________ with three sides. Step 1: Lightly shade the three angles of your triangle with a pencil. Step 2: Tear off each angle. Step 3: Place the three angles on the straight angle on the previous page. Conclusion: No matter the shape of the triangle, the sum of the interior angles will always be ___________. Part III: Quadrilaterals Now, lets connect what we know about the interior angles of a triangle in order to determine the sum of the interior angles of a four-sided figure or ______________________________. Parallelogram Rectangle Trapezoid

Step 1: Draw a diagonal from one vertex of each quadrilateral. Step 2: Count the number of triangles that are formed. Conclusion: No matter the shape of the quadrilateral, the sum of the interior angles will always be _____________. Quick Write Explain why the sum of the interior angles of a quadrilateral will always be 360. ___________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________

Ticket Extended Constructed Response(ECR) Look at quadrilateral KLMN.

Step A What is the measure of M? ______________degrees Step B

Use what you know about the angle measures of a quadrilateral to justify why the measure you determined for M is correct. Use words, numbers, and/or symbols in your justification. A new quadrilateral KLMN is drawn so that the measures of K and L do not change, but M and N are now congruent (the same size and shape). Use what you know about the angles of a quadrilateral to explain how this change affects the measure of M. Use words, numbers, and/or symbols in your explanation.
