How do we use some properties of parallelograms? How do we use parallelograms in everyday life?

Parallelogram Mounts

Definition
Parallelogram a quadrilateral with both pairs of opposite sides parallel.

Theorem: Opposite Sides

If a quadrilateral is a parallelogram, then its opposite sides are congruent.

PQ RS

R S

and

SP QR

Theorem: Opposite Angles

If a quadrilateral is a parallelogram, then its opposite angles are congruent.
Q P S R

P R and Q S

Theorem: Consecutive Angles

If a quadrilateral is a parallelogram, then its consecutive angles are supplementary.
Q P S R

mP + mQ = 180, mQ + mR = 180, mR + mS = 180, mS + mP = 180

Theorem: Bisecting Diagonals

If a quadrilateral is a parallelogram, then its diagonals bisect each other.

Example 1
FHGJ is a parallelogram. Find the unknown length.

JG= JK=

F K

5 3

J G JG = FH (opposite sides of a parallelogram are )

JG = 5
JK = HK (diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other) JK = 3

Checkpoint 1
PQRS is a parallelogram. Find the angle measure. mR = Q R mQ =
65

mR = 65 (opp. angles of a parallelogram are ) mQ = 180 - 65 (consecutive angles are supp.) mQ = 115

Checkpoint 2
ABCD is a parallelogram. Find x.
A D

3x

120

3x + 120 = 180

3x = 60
x = 20

Example 2 (Lets do it together!)

Given: ABCD and AEFG are parallelograms Prove: 1 3
A 2 1 E D

B 3

Summary
As we watch the video, you should be taking notes. After taking notes, you should compile your notes into a four-sentence summary. We will share the summaries with the class.
