Using Properties of Parallelograms to

Find the Measures of Its Angles, Sides
and Other Quantities
Quadrilateral – is a parallelogram if
opposite sides are congruent and
parallel.
There are various types of quadrilaterals,
namely parallelogram, rectangle, square,
rhombus, trapezoid, kite, and general
quadrilateral.
Parallelogram - is a quadrilateral with two
pairs of parallel sides
Rectangle- a parallelogram with four right
angles.
Square - has four equal sides.
rhombus - is a parallelogram with four
equal sides but no right angle.
Trapezoid - is a quadrilateral with only
one pair of parallel sides
Kite - is a quadrilateral with two distinct
pairs of adjacent sides which are equal in
length.
When a quadrilateral has no parallel
sides, it is called General quadrilateral.
For a quadrilateral to be a parallelogram, it should satisfy the following
conditions:
1. If both pairs of opposite sides of a quadrilateral are congruent, then
it is a parallelogram.
2. If both pairs of opposite angles are congruent, then it is a
parallelogram.
3. If the consecutive angles of a quadrilateral are supplementary, then
it is a parallelogram
4. If the diagonals of a quadrilateral bisect each other, then the
quadrilateral is a parallelogram.
5. If one pair of opposite sides of a quadrilateral are congruent and
parallel, then quadrilateral is a parallelogram.
