What is a Parallelogram? Mention some properties.


Parallelogram:

If a quadrilateral has a pair of parallel opposite sides, then it is called Parallelogram.

The properties of a parallelogram are as follows:

  • The opposite sides are congruent.
  • The opposite angles are congruent.
  • The consecutive angles are supplementary.
  • If anyone of the angles is a right angle, then all the other angles will also be right angles.
  • The two diagonals bisect each other.
  • Each diagonal bisects the parallelogram into two congruent triangles.  

$AB=CD$ and $AD=BC$

$\angle A=\angle C$ and $\angle B=\angle D$

$\angle A+\angle B=180^o$, $\angle A+\angle D=180^o$, $\angle B+\angle C=180^o$ and $\angle C+\angle D=180^o$.
