PROPERTIES OF PARALLELOGRAMS


For your convenience, this file contains the annotations to my lessons on parallelograms in this site and the major properties of parallelograms. The properties
are presented with the links to the corresponding lessons. The lessons are listed in the logical order, which means that every given lesson refers to the preceding ones
and does not refer to that follow. The list consolidates the relevant lessons that are located under different topics in this site.
At the end of the list there are links to the lessons on word problems related to parallelograms.

Remarcable advanced problems on parallelograms








The property

In a parallelogram, each diagonal divides it                                
in two congruent triangles.

In a parallelogram, the opposite sides are of equal
length in pairs.
If in a quadrilateral the opposite sides are of equal
length in pairs, then the quadrilateral is a parallelogram.

If a quadrilateral has two opposite sides parallel
and of equal length, then two other opposite sides
are parallel and of equal length too.
If in a quadrilateral two opposite sides are parallel
and two other opposite sides are parallel too, then
the opposite sides of each pair are of equal length.

In a parallelogram, the two diagonals bisect each other.
If in a quadrilateral the two diagonals bisect each other,
then the quadrilateral is a parallelogram.

In a parallelogram, the opposite angles are congruent.
If in a convex quadrilateral the opposite angles are
congruent, then the quadrilateral is a parallelogram.

In a parallelogram, the sum of any two consecutive
angles is equal to 180°.
If in a quadrilateral the sum of any two consecutive
angles is equal to 180°, then the quadrilateral is
a parallelogram.


The property

In a convex quadrilateral the midpoints of its sides
are vertices of the parallelogram.

If a, b, c and d are the lengths of the sides of a parallelogram
and d%5B1%5D and d%5B2%5D are the lengths of its diagonals, then
d%5B1%5D%5E2+%2B+d%5B2%5D%5E2 = a%5E2%2Bb%5E2%2Bc%5E2%2Bd%5E2%29%2F2 = 2a%5E2+%2B+2b%5E2.

In a parallelogram the segments connecting the opposite
vertices with the midpoints of the parallel sides cut
the diagonal in three congruent parts.

In a parallelogram the lengths of the adjacent sides are
8 cm and 3 cm respectively. Angle bisectors drawn from the vertices
of the long side split the opposite side into three segments.
Find the length of each of these segments.
