10. Essential Question #2 How can we prove a quadrilateral is a parallelogram?

11. Now identify the five ways to prove a quadrilateral is a parallelogram and list them below: 1._______________________________________ 2._______________________________________ 3._______________________________________ 4. _______________________________________ 5. _______________________________________ Show both pairs of opposite sides are parallel Show both pairs of opposite sides are congruent Show both pairs of opposite angles are congruent Show the diagonals bisect each other Show same pair of opposites sides are both parallel and congruent

12. Look at the figures below and the given information that is marked. Can the figure be proved to be a parallelogram using one of the methods listed above? Both pairs of opposite sides are congruent Parallelogram One pair of opposite sides are congruent The other pair are parallel by alt int ∠ ≅ Not a Parallelogram Both pairs of opposite sides are parallel Parallelogram One pair of opposite sides are congruent The same pair are parallel by alt int ∠ ≅ Parallelogram

13. One pair of opposite sides are congruent The same pair are parallel Parallelogram Diagonals bisect each other Parallelogram Both pairs of opposite sides are parallel by alt int ∠≅ Parallelogram One pair of opposite sides are congruent The other pair are parallel Not a Parallelogram

14. Method 1: Using Distance Formula Ex 1. The coordinates of a Quadrilateral are W (5,6), X (7,5), Y (9,9) and Z (7,10). Use the distance formula to find each edge length. a. Find WX b. Find XY Proving that a Quadrilateral is a Parallelogram

15. Is this a parallelogram?______ justify your conclusion. Both pairs of opposite sides are congruent Ex 1 continued - The coordinates of a Quadrilateral are W (5,6), X (7,5), Y (9,9) and Z (7,10). c.Find YZ d. Find WZ YES

16. Method 2: Using the Slope Formula Ex 2. The coordinates of the Quadrilateral are W(-3,-3), X(1,-6), Y(5,-3) and Z(1,0). a. Find the slope of WX b. Find the slope of XY

17. Ex 2. The coordinates of the Quadrilateral are W(-3,-3), X(1,-6), Y(5,-3) and Z(1,0). c. Find the slope of YZ d. Find the slope of WZ Is this a parallelogram?_______ justify your conclusion. Both pairs of opposite edges are Parallel. YES

18. Classwork: Use which ever method you chose to determine if a quadrilateral with the following vertices is a Parallelogram. 1. A ( 3, -2) B ( 8, -2) C ( 7, -4) D ( 3, -6) IS ABCD a Parallelogram? _______ If so, How ? No Opposite Sides are not Congruent.

19. 2. A ( -1, 3) B ( 2, 1) C ( 9, 2) D ( 6, 4) IS ABCD a Parallelogram? ______ If so, How ? Both pairs of opposite sides are parallel YES
