A quadrilateral that has opposite sides

parallel is called a parallelogram

Parallelogram Properties:
Q R

P S

Both pairs of opposite sides are parallel.

QR || PS and QP || PS
opposite sides are congruent.
Q R
PQ≅RS and SP≅QR

P S
 Q R
opposite angles
are congruent.

P ≅ R
and
Q ≅ S

P S
consecutive angles
are supplementary
Q R
(add up to 180°).
mP +mQ = 180°,
mQ +mR = 180°,
mR + mS = 180°,
mS + mP = 180°

P S
Diagonals bisect each other
QM ≅ SM

and
PM ≅ RM
