Tests for Parallelograms Unit 8.3

Four Tests 1.If both pairs of opposite sides of a quadrilateral are congruent 2.If both pairs of opposite angles of a quadrilateral are congruent 3.If the diagonals of a quadrilateral bisect each other 4.If one pair of opposite sides of a quadrilateral is both parallel and congruent (new)

Problems Problems 4 – 7 page No – one pair of opposite sides are not parallel and congruent 5. Yes: Opposite angles are congruent 6. 5y = 2y + 123x – 18 = 2x - 5 3y = 12 → y = 4 x = x – 17 = 2x + 245y – 6 = y + 58 x = 414y = 64 y = 16
