Properties of a Parallelogram • Opposite sides of a parallelogram are congruent.
Example • Find the value of x in PQRS 3x - 15 R Q P S 2x + 3
Properties of a Parallelogram • Opposite angles of a parallelogram are congruent.
Angles inside a Parallelogram • The angles inside any polygon that share a side are known as Consecutive Angles. A parallelogram has opposite sides parallel. Its consecutive angles are same side interior angles that add up to 180 degrees. X X + Y = 180 Y
Example • Find the value of Y in the following parallelogram. Then find all the angle measures. ? 3y +37 ? 6y + 4
Properties of a Parallelogram • The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.
Example • Find the value of A and B A B + 10 B+2 2A – 8
Properties of Parallelograms • If 3 or more parallel lines cut off congruent segments on one transversal, then they cut off congruent segments on every transversal.
Example • In the figure to the right, DH CG BF and AE are parallel. AB = BC = CD = 2, and EF = 2.5. Find EH D H 2 C G 2 B F 2 2.5 A E
