6-1 Parallelograms Objective: 1. Recognize and define a parallelogram. 2. Use properties of parallelograms
Quadrilateral: A polygon with four sides Examples: “Non”examples:
Diagonal: Line segment that connects two nonconsecutive vertices Examples:
Parallelogram: a quadrilateral whose opposite sides are parallel. A few terms: Opposite Sides: Opposite Angles: Consecutive Angles:
Property #1: opposite sides of a parallelogram are congruent
Property #2: opposite angles of a parallelogram are congruent
Property #3: All consecutive angles are supplementary
Property #4: The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.
Ex. 1: Decide if the sketch is a parallelogram
Ex. 2: Fill in the blanks. ZORT is a parallelogram.
Ex. 3: Solve for the given variables.
Ex. 4: Solve for the given variables.
