PROPERTIES OF PARALLELOGRAMS
Notes/Practice
GOAL: To be able to identify the special properties of parallelograms and be able to use those
properties in proof and in problem solving.
PARALLELOGRAM: ____________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________
Quadrilaterals that are parallelograms:
A. ___________________________
B. ___________________________
C. ___________________________
If MATH is a parallelogram, what conclusions can we make?
Consecutive Angles: Angles of a polygon that _____________ a __________. In a
parallelogram, consecutive angles are __________________________________. This
means they add up to ____________.
THIS IMPLIES THAT: ___________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________.

PROPERTIES OF PARALLELOGRAMS
Notes/Practice
SOLVE for ALL variables given the following parallelogram.
x = __________
y = __________
w = __________
z = __________
Now…we will use the definition of parallelograms, as well as properties we know from
triangles, to prove some things about properties of parallelograms! I have started the first
one for you, so you can see a new reason in proof!
Proof 1:
Given: MATH
Prove: MA  TH
MH  TA
Statements
1.  MATH
2. MA  TH
What did you just prove?
Reasons
1. Given
2.  2 pairs of opposite sides 

Last Theorem: Don’t need to prove it –
If three (or more) parallel lines cut off congruent segments on one transversal, then they cut
off congruent segments on every transversal.
If AB  BC  FE  ED
Uses of the above theorem…the first one is done for you!!! Find the value(s) of the unknowns.
A.
x = __________
B.
x = __________ y = __________
