Hello everybody! :D
This scribes about the properties of;
Parallelograms, rectangles, phombusesessss, and, squares! (yay)
I have a hard time remebering radom facts sometimes so the key thing to keep in mind is to always keep it simple. For example, if instead of remembering each shape seperatly, try remembering them togeather.
Like this;
All 4 shapes have...
*opposite equal sides,
*supplementary consecutive angles,
*and bisecting diagonals

but incase you don't like this way or just lost your sheet (tisk tisk :P);
(the names of the shapes I put beside the property mean they have that property.)
Properties

opposite sides are equal (all)
all sides are equal (rhombus and square)
opposite angles are right angles (rectangle and square)
consecutive angles are supplementary (all)
diagonals are congruent (rectangle and square)
diagonals bisect each other (all)
diagonals bisect opposite angles (square)
diagonals are perpendicular to each other (rhombus and square)
