If a line's slope is the opposite reciprocal of another line’s slope, the two lines are
perpendicular. If the slope is congruent, then they are parallel.
Not a postulate or anything but if we have parallel lines, all angle pairs are either
congruent or supplementary.
So it’s either a parallelogram, rectangle, rhombus or square.
1. Check to see if opposite sides are parallel (If yes, then it’s a parallelogram)
2. Check to see if consecutive sides are perpendicular (If yes, then it’s a rectangle. If no,
then try step 3 to see if it’s a rhombus)
3. Check to see if diagonals are perpendicular (If all 3 steps are a yes, then it’s a square. If
step 2 was no, but this is yes, then it’s a rhombus because it’s the only parallelogram
that has perpendicular diagonals without perpendicular sides.. If only step 1 is yes, then
it’s a parallelogram)
