  3. An amusement park ride has a moving platform attached to four swinging arms. The platform swings back and forth, higher and higher, until it goes over the top and around in a circular motion. In the diagram below, AD and BC represent two of the swinging arms, and DC is parallel to the ground (line l). Explain why the moving platform AB is always parallel to the ground. By the definition of a parallelogram, AB llDC . Because DC is parallel to line l, AB is also parallel to line l by the Transitive Property of Parallel Lines. So, the moving platform is parallel to the ground. Ex 1 Solve a Real-World Problem The shape of quadrilateral ABCD changes as the moving platform swings around, but its side lengths do not change. Both pairs of opposite sides are congruent, so ABCD is a parallelogram by Theorem 8.7.

  4. Theorem 8.9 If one pair of opposite sides of a quadrilateral are congruent and parallel, then the quadrilateral is a parallelogram. If BC ll AD and BC AD, then ABCD is a parallelogram B C A D Theorem 8.10 Q R P S

  5. In the photograph, ST llUV and ST UV. By Theorem 8.9, quadrilateral STUV is a parallelogram. Ex 2 Identify a Parallelogram The doorway shown is part of a building in England. Over time, the building has leaned sideways. Explain how you know that SV = TU. By Theorem 8.3, you know that opposite sides of a parallelogram are congruent. So, SV = TU.

  6. For what value of xis quadrilateral CDEFa parallelogram? Ex 3 Use Algebra With Parallelogram From Theorem 8.10 diagonals of parallelogram bisect. DN FN = 3x 5x – 8 = 0 2x – 8 = 8 2x = 4 x = FN = 5(4) –8 = 12 andDN = 3(4) = Whenx = 4, 12.
