Definition of a Parallelogram • a quadrilateral in which both pairs of opposite sides are parallel
Given: ABCD is a parallelogram.Prove: A B D C • Statements Reasons • ABCD is a 1. Given • Draw BD 2. Through any two points there exists exactly one line • AB || CD, AD || CB 3. Definition of parallelogram • ∠ABD ≅ ∠CDB, 4. Alternate Interior Angles • ∠ADB ≅ ∠CBD • DB≅DB 5. Reflexive Property of Congruence • ∆ADB ≅ ∆CBD 6. ASA Congruence Postulate • AB ≅ CD, AD ≅ CB 7. CPCTC
A B Theorem 6.2 If a quadrilateral is a parallelogram, then its opposite sides are congruent. Theorem 6.3 If a quadrilateral is a parallelogram, then its opposite angles are congruent. Theorem 6.4 If a quadrilateral is a parallelogram, then its consecutive angles are supplementary. Theorem 6.5 If a quadrilateral is a parallelogram, then its diagonals bisect each other. D C
