Theorems on Parallelogram Properties

Theorem 3.1: Opposite Sides Theorem

If a quadrilateral is a parallelogram, it has 2 sets of opposite sides

congruent.

Converse of Theorem 3.1: If a quadrilateral has 2 sets of opposite sides

congruent, then it is a parallelogram.

Theorem 3.2: Opposite Angles Theorem

If a quadrilateral is a parallelogram, it has 2 sets of opposite angles

congruent.

Converse of Theorem 2: If a quadrilateral has 2 sets of opposite angles

congruent, then it is a parallelogram.

Theorem 3.3: Diagonals Theorem

If a quadrilateral is a parallelogram, it has diagonals which bisect each

other.

Converse of Theorem 3.3: If the diagonals in a quadrilateral bisect each

other, then it is a parallelogram.

Theorem 3.4: Consecutive Angles Theorem

If a quadrilateral is a parallelogram, it has consecutive angles which are

supplementary.

Converse of Theorem 3.4: If a quadrilateral has consecutive angles which

are supplementary, then it is a parallelogram.

Theorem 3.5

If a quadrilateral is a parallelogram, it has diagonals which form 2

congruent triangles.

Theorems on Rectangle

Theorem 3.6

If a parallelogram has a right angle, then it has four right angles, and the
parallelogram is a rectangle.

Theorem 3.7

If a parallelogram has congruent diagonals, then it is a rectangle.

 Theorems on Rhombus

Theorem 3.8

If a parallelogram has four congruent sides, then it is a rhombus.

Theorem 3.9

If a parallelogram has perpendicular diagonals, then it is a rhombus.

Theorem 3.10

If the diagonals of a parallelogram are angle bisectors, then it is a rhombus.

Square Corollary

A quadrilateral is a square if and only if it is a rhombus and a rectangle.
