This document discusses properties of parallelograms and related shapes. It defines a parallelogram as a quadrilateral with both pairs of opposite sides parallel. The key properties are: 1) Both pairs of opposite sides are congruent 2) Both pairs of opposite angles are congruent 3) Consecutive angles are supplementary 4) The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other It then discusses specific types of parallelograms including rectangles, rhombi, and squares, noting additional properties they possess.

16. Rectangles Are Parallelograms
With 4 Right Angles
All 5 Things About Parallelograms
Are True…PLUS
1) All angles = 90°
2) Diagonals are congruent

17. All Angles = 90°
If 1 Angle In A Parallelogram Is A Right
Angle, Then All 4 Angles Are Right Angles
This gives us
right triangles also

18. Diagonals Are Congruent
This Gives Us 4 Congruent Segments
And 4 Isosceles Triangles
This Tells Us A Lot About The Angles
