SOME SPECIAL PARALLELOGRAMS
1. Rectangle
A rectangle is a parallelogram in which each angle is a right angle.
In rectangle,
Some Special Parallelograms Class 8 Notes | EduRev
(i) The opposite sides are equal and parallel,
(ii) Opposite angles are equal,
(iii) Diagonals ae equal,
(iv) Diagonals bisect each other.
Note: A rectangle is an equiangular figure but not an equilateral one.

2. Rhombus

(i) Opposite sides are parallel,
(ii) All sides are equal,
(iii) Opposite angles are equal,
(iv) Diagonals bisect each other at right angles.

3. Square
A parallelogram having all of its sides equal and measure of each angle being 90°, is called a square.
In a square,

Some Special Parallelograms Class 8 Notes | EduRev

(i) All four sides are equal,
(ii) Opposite sides are parallel,
(iii) Each angle being equal to 90°,
(iv) The diagonals are equal,
(v) The diagonals bisect each other at right angles.
Note: A square is an equilateral and equiangular quadrilateral. Therefore it is called a regular polygon.

SUM OF THE MEASURES OF THE EXTERIOR ANGLES OF A POLYGON
Whatever be the number of sides of a polygon, the sum of the measures of its exterior angles is always 360°.
For example:
(a)

∠a + ∠b + ∠c + ∠d + ∠e = 360°

(b)

∠a + ∠b + ∠c + ∠d + ∠e + ∠f = 360°

Example 1. Find the measure of x in the figure.

Some Special Parallelograms Class 8 Notes | EduRev

Solution:
∵ Sum of all the exterior angles of a quadrilateral = 360°
∴ x + 65° + 115° + 110° = 360°
or
x + 290° = 360°
or
x = 360° – 290° = 70°
