Do you have any known characteristics of a parallelogram?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

In particular, do you know that the opposite sides are congruent?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah

OpenStudy (anonymous):

There are no know anything lol

OK, we can do it in three steps. Construct a diagonal. Note that triangles formed are congruent by SSS. Note that corresponding angles are congruent, i.e., the angles opposite one another are congruent.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Those are it? lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If all we know is that the opposite sides are parallel, extend those segments into parallel lines. Use the rules for the intersection of parallel lines to show the angles congruent.

Do math every day.
