5. Parallelogram
LESSON 6
SLIDE
• A parallelogram is named using all four vertices.
• You can start from any one vertex, but you must
continue in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction.
• For example, this can be either
ABCD or ADCB.

SLIDE
• There are four basic properties of all parallelograms.
• These properties have to do with the angles, the sides
and the diagonals.

3. Consecutive Angles
• If a quadrilateral is a parallelogram,
then its consecutive angles are
supplementary (add up to 180°).
mP +mQ = 180°,
mQ +mR = 180°,
mR + mS = 180°,
mS + mP = 180°

4. Diagonals
• If a quadrilateral is a
parallelogram, then its
diagonals bisect each other.
QM ≅ SM
and
PM ≅ RM
Note: The diagonals are not congruent!
