Opposite sides are equal Opposite angles (diagonal) are equal Consecutive (angles next to each other) interior angles are supplementary Diagonals bisect each other Opposite sides are equal Diagonals bisect each other Diagonals are the same length All sides are equal Opposite angles are equal Opposite sides have equal slope Diagonals: bisect each other, bisect the angles are at right angles Base angles are equal Other angle pairs are supplementary Diagonals are the same length symmetrical if a line drawn through the midpoints of its parallel sides
