Vocabulary • Polygon: plane figure formed by three or more segments (called sides). • Diagonal: segment that joins 2 non-consecutive vertices
Example 1 • Is the figure a polygon? Explain your reasoning.
Quadrilaterals • Quadrilateral Interior Angles Theorem • The sum of the measures of the interior angles of a quadrilateral is 360°
Example 2 • Find the measure of the missing angle within each quadrilateral.
6.2 Properties of Parallelograms • Parallelogram: quadrilateral with BOTH pairs of opposite sides parallel
Theorems about Parallelograms • If a quadrilateral is a parallelogram, then its opposite sides are congruent. • If a quadrilateral is a parallelogram, then its opposite angles are congruent. • If a quadrilateral is a parallelogram, then its consecutive angles are supplementary.
Example 1 • FGHJ is a parallelogram. Find JH and FJ.
Example 2 • PQRS is a parallelogram. Find the missing angle measures.
You Try It… • Find the missing side lengths or angle measures as indicated.
One more theorem… • If a quadrilateral is a parallelogram, then its diagonals bisect each other. • REMEMBER: to BISECT a segment means to divide the segment into two congruent segments.
Example 3 • TUVW is a parallelogram. Find TX.
