measure. Therefore, they are congruent.
If both pairs of opposite sides of a
quadrilateral are congruent, the quadrilateral
is a parallelogram.

Use Parallelograms to Prove

Relationships

MECHANICS Scissor lifts, like

the platform lift shown, are
commonly applied to tools
intended to lift heavy items. In the
diagram, A C and B D.
Explain why the consecutive
angles will always be
supplementary, regardless of the
height of the platform.

Use Parallelograms to Prove

Relationships

Answer: Since both pairs of opposite angles of

quadrilateral ABCD are congruent, ABCD is
a parallelogram by Theorem 6.10. Theorem
6.5 states that consecutive angles of
parallelograms are supplementary.
Therefore, mA + mB = 180 and
mC + mD = 180. By substitution,
mA + mD = 180 and mC + mB = 180.

C. AB BC
D. mA + mC = 180

Use Parallelograms and Algebra to Find Values

parallelogram.

Opposite sides of a parallelogram are congruent.

Use Parallelograms and Algebra to Find Values

AB = DC
Substitution
Distributive Property
Subtract 3x from each side.
Add 1 to each side.

Use Parallelograms and Algebra to Find Values

Substitution
Distributive Property
Subtract 3y from each side.
Add 2 to each side.
Answer: So, when x = 7 and y = 5, quadrilateral
ABCD is a parallelogram.

Parallelograms and Coordinate Geometry

COORDINATE GEOMETRY
Quadrilateral QRST has vertices
Q(1, 3), R(3, 1), S(2, 3), and
T(2, 1). Determine whether the
quadrilateral is a parallelogram.
Justify your answer by using the
Slope Formula.
If the opposite sides of a quadrilateral are parallel,
then it is a parallelogram.

Parallelograms and Coordinate Geometry

Answer: Since opposite sides have the same slope,

QRST and RSTQ. Therefore, QRST is a
parallelogram by definition.

F(2, 0), G(1, 5), and H(3, 2). Determine whether
the quadrilateral is a parallelogram.
A. yes
B. no

Parallelograms and Coordinate Proofs

Write a coordinate proof for the following

statement.
If both pairs of opposite sides of a quadrilateral are
congruent, then the quadrilateral is a parallelogram.
Step 1

Position quadrilateral ABCD on the coordinate

plane such that AB DC and AD BC.

Begin by placing the vertex A at the origin.

Let AB have a length of a units. Then B has
coordinates (a, 0).

Parallelograms and Coordinate Proofs

So that the distance from D to C is also a units, let

the x-coordinate of D be b and of C be b + a.
Since AD BC, position the endpoints of DC so that
they have the same y-coordinate, c.

Parallelograms and Coordinate Proofs

Step 2

Use your figure to write a proof.

Given:

quadrilateral ABCD, AB DC, AD BC

Prove:

ABCD is a parallelogram.

Coordinate Proof:
By definition, a quadrilateral is a parallelogram if
opposite sides are parallel.
Use the Slope Formula.

Parallelograms and Coordinate Proofs

The slope of AB is 0.

The slope of CD is 0.
Since AB and CD have the same slope and AD and BC
have the same slope, ABCD and ADBC.
Answer: So, quadrilateral ABCD is a parallelogram
because opposite sides are parallel.

Which of the following can be used to prove the

statement below?
If a quadrilateral is a
parallelogram, then one pair of
opposite sides is both parallel and
congruent.
A. AB = a units and DC = a units;
slope of AB = 0 and slope of
DC = 0
B. AD = c units and BC = c units;
slope of

and slope of
