Section 6 – 2 Properties of Parallelograms Objectives: To use relationships among sides and among angles of parallelograms To use relationships involving diagonals of parallelograms or transversals

Theorem 6 – 1 Opposite sides of a parallelogram are congruent

Consecutive Angles: Angles of a polygon that share a side Consecutive angles are supplementary!

Example 1 Using Consecutive Angles A) Find m ∠ S in ▱RSTW. If consecutive angles of a quadrilateral are supplementary, must the quadrilateral be a parallelogram?

Use ▱KMOQ to find m ∠ 0. If m ∠ BAD = y and m ∠ ADC = 4y – 70, find y.

Theorem 6 – 2 Opposite angles of a parallelogram are congruent

Example 2 Using Algebra A) Find the values of x in ▱PQRS. Then find QR and PS.

Find the value of y in ▱EFGH. Then find m ∠ E, m ∠ G, m ∠ F, and m ∠ H.

C) Find the value of d in ▱ABCD. Then find m ∠ A.

Example 3 Parallelograms & Perimeter A) Find the lengths of all four sides of ▱ABCD. The perimeter is 48 inches. AB is 5 inches less than BC.

B) Find the lengths of all four sides of ▱ABCD. The perimeter is 92 cm. AD is 7 cm more than twice AB.

What is a DIAGONAL?

Theorem 6 – 3 The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.

Example 3 Using Algebra A) Find the values of x and y in ▱ABCD. Then find AE, EC, BE, and ED.

B) Find the values of a and b. Then find WY and XZ.

C) Find the values of x and y in ▱PQRS when PT = 2x – 7, TR = 3y – 9, QT = y – 1, and TS = 2y – 5.

Theorem 6 – 4 If three (or more) parallel lines cut off congruent segments on one transversal, then they cut off congruent segments on every transversal.
