### Parallelogram

Definition:

A quadrilateral with both pairs of opposite sides parallel.

• The symbol for parallelogram is a smaller version of the figure.

• A parallelogram is named using all four vertices.

• You can start from any one vertex, but you must continue in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction.

• For example, the figure above can be either ABCD or

### Properties of Parallelogram

P

D

C

1.Both pairs of opposite sides are congruent.

2.Both pairs of opposite angles are congruent.

3. Diagonals bisect each other but are not congruent

P is the midpoint of AC and BD, so BP = PD and AP = PC.

H

Draw HKLP.

HK = _______ and HP = ________ .

m< K = m<______ .

m< L + m<______ = 180°.

If m< P = 65°, then m< H = ____, m< K = ____ and

m< L =____.

Draw the diagonals with their point of intersection labeled M.

If HM = 5, then ML = ____ .

If KM = 7, then KP = ____ .

If HL = 15, then ML = ____ .

If m<HPK = 36°, then m<PKL = _____ .
