Lesson 1 Quadrilaterals

The document explains the definition of quadrilaterals and specifically focuses on how to prove that a quadrilateral is a parallelogram using various criteria such as parallel sides, congruent angles, and bisected diagonals. It provides multiple methods for proving a quadrilateral's properties and includes examples for determining values of variables to establish whether a given quadrilateral is a parallelogram. Additionally, it emphasizes the relationships between angles and sides in parallelograms.

In geometry a quadrilateral is a four-sided polygon,
having four edges (sides) and four corners
(vertices). The word is derived from the Latin words
quadri, a variant of four, and latus, meaning "side".
