6.2-6.3: Parallelograms • Objectives: • Be able to use some properties of parallelograms. • Be able to prove that a quadrilateral is a parallelogram.
Parallelograms A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with both pairs of opposite sides parallel. REMEMBER, If two lines are parallel, then: P S 1) Alternate interior angles are congruent 2) Alternate exterior angles are congruent 3) Corresponding angles are congruent 4) Same-side interior angles are supplementary. Q R When you mark diagrams of quadrilaterals, use matching arrowheads to indicate which sides are parallel. For example, in the diagram above, PQ║RS and QR║SP. The symbol PQRS is read “parallelogram PQRS.”
