A. CONSTRUCTION In suppose mB = 32, CD = 80 inches, BC = 15 inches. Find AD.

AD = BC Opposite sides of a are .

= 15 Substitution

Answer: AD = 15 inches

B. CONSTRUCTION In suppose mB = 32, CD = 80 inches, BC = 15 inches. Find mC.

Answer: mC = 148

mC + mB = 180 Cons. s in a are supplementary.

mC + 32 = 180 Substitution

mC = 148 Subtract 32 from each side.

C. CONSTRUCTION In suppose mB = 32, CD = 80 inches, BC = 15 inches. Find mD.

Answer: mD = 32

mD = mB Opp. s of a are .

What are the coordinates of the intersection of the diagonals of parallelogram MNPR, with vertices M(–3, 0), N(–1, 3), P(5, 4), and R(3, 1)?

Since the diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other, the intersection point is the midpoint of

Find the midpoint of

Midpoint Formula

Answer: The coordinates of the intersection of the diagonals of parallelogram MNPR are (1, 2).

Properties of Parallelograms• The opposite sides of a parallelogram are

parallel (by definition).• The opposite angles of a parallelogram are

congruent.• The opposite sides of a parallelogram are

congruent.• The consecutive angles of a parallelogram

are supplementary.• The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each

other

They are parallel and congruent.

• What is true about the opposite angles?

They are congruent.

• What is true about the consecutive angles?

They are supplementary.

• What is true about the diagonals?

They bisect each other.
