This document discusses parallelograms and their properties. It defines a parallelogram as a quadrilateral with both pairs of opposite sides parallel. The properties listed include opposite sides being congruent, diagonals bisecting each other, opposite angles being congruent, and consecutive sides being supplementary. It also defines three types of parallelograms - rectangles having four right angles, rhombuses having all equal sides, and squares having four equal sides and angles. Theorems related to each type are also provided.

Parallelogram – is a quadrilateral where both pairs of opposite sides are parallel. Properties:
In a parallelogram, any 2 opposite sides are congruent.
In a parallelogram, the diagonals bisect each other. In a parallelogram, any 2 opposite angles are congruent. In a parallelogram, the diagonal makes up 2 congruent triangles. In a parallelogram, any 2 consecutive sides are supplementary. Types of Parallelograms
Rectangle - all angles are congruent, have 4 right angles.
Theorems:
If a parallelogram is a right angle, then it has 4 right angles and is a rectangle.
Diagonals of a rectangle are congruent.
Rhombus – all sides are equal.
Theorems:
Diagonals of a rhombus are perpenndicular.
Each diagonal bisects angles.
Square – a parallelogram that has 4 equal sides and angles.
