Proving Different Kinds of Parallelogram

Theorem- is a statement that can be demonstrated to be true by accepted mathematical

operations and arguments

A process of showing a theorem to be correct is called proof.

Proof: the explanation of why a statement is true.

CHARACTERISTICS OF RECTANGLE:
1. Opposite sides are parallel and congruent
2. Opposite angles are congruent and supplementary
3. All four angles are right angles (equiangular)
4. Consecutive angles are supplementary
5. Diagonals bisect each other and are congruent
6. Each diagonal separates the rectangle into two congruent triangles.

THEOREMS ON RECTANGLE

THEOREM 1

If a parallelogram has a right angle, then it has four right angles, and the parallelogram is a
rectangle.

THEOREM 2

The diagonals of a rectangle are congruent.

CHARACTERISTICS OF RHOMBUS:
1. All four sides are congruent (equilateral)
2. Opposite sides are parallel
3. Opposite angles are congruent
4. Consecutive angles are supplementary
5. Diagonals bisect each other and are perpendicular
6. Each diagonal bisects a pair of opposite angles
7. Each diagonal separates the rhombus into two congruent triangles.

THEOREMS ON RHOMBUS

THEOREM 3

The diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular.

THEOREM 4

Each diagonal of a rhombus bisects opposites angles.

CHARACTERISTICS OF A SQUARE
1. Equiangular and equilateral

3. Opposite angles are congruent and supplementary.
4. Consecutive angles are supplementary and congruent.
5. Diagonals bisect each other and are perpendicular and congruent.
6. Each diagonal separates the square into two congruent triangles.

THEOREMS ON SQUARE

THEOREM 5
