 Conditions Which Guarantee that a
Quadrilateral a Parallelogram

1. A quadrilateral is a parallelogram if both pairs of

opposite sides are congruent.
2. A quadrilateral is a parallelogram if both pairs of
opposite angles are congruent.
3. A quadrilateral is a parallelogram if pairs of
consecutive angles are supplementary.
4. A quadrilateral is a parallelogram if the diagonals
bisect each other.
 Conditions Which Guarantee that a
Quadrilateral a Parallelogram

5. A quadrilateral is a parallelogram if each diagonal

divides a parallelogram into two congruent
triangles.

6. A quadrilateral is a parallelogram if one pair of

opposite sides are congruent and parallel.

 Theorems on rectangle:
Theorem 1. If a parallelogram has one
right angle, then it has four right angles
and the
parallelogram is a rectangle.
Theorem 2. The diagonals of a rectangle
are congruent.
 Theorems on rhombus:
Theorem 3. The diagonals of a rhombus are
perpendicular.
Theorem 4. Each diagonal of a rhombus bisects
opposite angles.
Theorem 5. The Midline Theorem. The segment
that joins the midpoints of two sides of a
triangle is parallel to the third side and half as
long.
