5. In this lesson... And the rest of the chapter, you will study special quadrilaterals. A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with both pairs of opposite sides parallel. When you mark diagrams of quadrilaterals, use matching arrowheads to indicate which sides are parallel. For example, in the diagram to the right, PQ║RS and QR║SP. The symbol PQRS is read “parallelogram PQRS.”

6. Theorems about parallelograms 6.2—If a quadrilateral is a parallelogram, then its opposite sides are congruent. ► PQ ≅ RS and SP ≅ QR P Q R S

7. Theorems about parallelograms 6.3—If a quadrilateral is a parallelogram, then its opposite angles are congruent.  P ≅  R and  Q ≅  S P Q R S

8. Theorems about parallelograms 6.4—If a quadrilateral is a parallelogram, then its consecutive angles are supplementary (add up to 180°). m  P +m  Q = 180°, m  Q +m  R = 180°, m  R + m  S = 180°, m  S + m  P = 180° P Q R S

9. Theorems about parallelograms 6.5—If a quadrilateral is a parallelogram, then its diagonals bisect each other. QM ≅ SM and PM ≅ RM P Q R S

27. Ex. 6: Using parallelograms in real life FURNITURE DESIGN. A drafting table is made so that the legs can be joined in different ways to change the slope of the drawing surface. In the arrangement below, the legs AC and BD do not bisect each other. Is ABCD a parallelogram?

28. Ex. 6: Using parallelograms in real life FURNITURE DESIGN. A drafting table is made so that the legs can be joined in different ways to change the slope of the drawing surface. In the arrangement below, the legs AC and BD do not bisect each other. Is ABCD a parallelogram? ANSWER: NO. If ABCD were a parallelogram, then by Theorem 6.5, AC would bisect BD and BD would bisect AC. They do not, so it cannot be a parallelogram.
