Constructing Quadrilaterals with GSP

Use GSP to construct each of the following quadrilaterals.

square

rectangle that is not a square

parallelogram

rhombus

trapezoid

Be sure your constructions survive when dragged! Use a text box to explain how you know your construction meets the criteria for each quadrilateral.

The construction for each quadrilateral should be on a separate page. Use the “tab” feature of GSP in order to create just one file with different pages for each construction. To activate this feature go to FILE, Document Options, Add Page, Blank Page. You should have one file with 5 pages. Name the pages as: square, rectangle that is not a square, parallelogram, rhombus, and trapezoid which appropriately correspond to the 5 quadrilaterals. Note that the names of the pages appear on tabs in the bottom of the window, allowing you to jump from one page to another.

How to turn in and label your work:

Email me your GSP file. For this assignment you will have 5 tabs at the bottom of your GSP worksheet. Please save your file as your

last name and first initial_quad.gsp

For example, I would email myself (at lcrawfor@aug.edu) the following file:

crawfordl_quad.gsp
