1 Proving a quadrilateral is a Parallelogram

2 How do we know if a Quadrilateral is a Parallelogram?

3 How do we know if a Quadrilateral is a Parallelogram?
If it has two sets of parallel sides, then it is a parallelogram. (Definition) There are 4 other sets of conditions that show a quadrilateral is a parallelogram by logical conclusion. The diagonals bisect each. The opposite sides are congruent The opposite angles are congruent One pair of sides is both congruent and parallel.

4 Prove that if a quadrilateral’s opposite sides are congruent,then it is a parallelogram.
A D STATEMENTS REASONS C Given: AB = CD BC = DA Prove: ABCD is a parallelogram B

5 Prove that if a quadrilateral’s diagonals bisect each other,then it is a parallelogram.
A D STATEMENTS REASONS C Given: AE = CE BE = DE Prove: ABCD is a parallelogram E B

6 Is there enough information to determine if the quadrilateral is a parallelogram?
A D 1. AB = DC, AB ll DC Yes. C 2. BE = ED, AB = CD No. 3.<DAC=<BCA,<BAC=DCA E B
