• Recognize the conditions that ensure a quadrilateral is a parallelogram.
• Prove that a set of points forms a parallelogram in the coordinate plane.
Write a Proof
Proof: Since ΔABD ΔCDB, CPCTC. By Theorem 6.9, if both pairs of opposite sides of a quadrilateral are congruent, the quadrilateral is a parallelogram. Therefore, ABCD is a parallelogram.
Write a paragraph proof of the statement: If a diagonal of a quadrilateral divides the quadrilateral into two congruent triangles, then the quadrilateral is a parallelogram.
Prove: ABCD is a parallelogram.
Given: ΔABD ΔCDB
Write a paragraph proof of the statement: If two diagonals of a quadrilateral divide the quadrilateral into four triangles where opposite triangles are congruent, then the quadrilateral is a parallelogram.
Prove: WXYZ is a parallelogram.
Given: ΔXVY ΔZVW and ΔXVW ΔZVY
A. A
B. B
C. C
D. D
A. Both pairs of opp. sides .
B. Both pairs of opp. ’s .
C. One pair of opp. sides both and ||.
D. Diagonals bisect each other
Proof: Since ΔXVY ΔZVW and ΔXVW ΔZVY, by CPCTC. By which method would you prove WXYZ is a parallelogram?
Some of the shapes in this Bavarian crest appear to be parallelograms. Describe the information needed to determine whether the shapes are parallelograms.
Answer: If both pairs of opposite sides are the same length or if one pair of opposite sides is congruent and parallel, the quadrilateral is a parallelogram. If both pairs of opposite angles are congruent or if the diagonals bisect each other, the quadrilateral is a parallelogram.
Properties of Parallelograms
Properties of Parallelograms
Determine whether the quadrilateral is a parallelogram. Justify your answer.
Answer: Each pair of opposite sides has the same measure. Therefore, they are congruent. If both pairs of opposite sides of a quadrilateral are congruent, the quadrilateral is a parallelogram.
