Parallelograms Section 5-1
B C D A Parallelogram Definition: A quadrilateral with both pairs of opposite sides parallel. • A parallelogram is named using all four vertices. • You can start from any one vertex, but you must continue in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction. • For example, the figure above can be either ABCD or ADCB. *** Remember: a smaller version of a parallelogram
A B Properties of Parallelogram P D C 1. Both pairs of opposite sides are congruent. 2. Both pairs of opposite angles are congruent. 3. Diagonals bisect each other but are not congruent P is the midpoint of .
