6.2 Properties of Parallelograms: Quadrilaterals

This document discusses several key properties of parallelograms: 1) Opposite sides and opposite angles of a parallelogram are congruent. 2) Consecutive angles of a parallelogram are supplementary. 3) The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other. 4) If parallel lines cut off congruent segments on one transversal, they will cut off congruent segments on any transversal.

6.2 Properties of
Parallelograms
• Theorem 6-1:
Opposite sides of a
parallelogram are congruent
Consecutive and
Opposite Angles
• Consecutive Angles: Angles
that share a side (Angles that
are “next” to each other)

• Opposite Angles: Angles that


are across from each other in
the parallelogram
6.2 Properties of
Parallelograms
• Consecutive Angles are
Supplementary because they
are same-side interior angles
Using Consecutive

congruent segments on one transversal,
then they cut off congruent segments on
every transversal.
