The sum of the measures of the interior angles of a convex n-sided polygon is (n – 2) 180°
Using this theorem, we can see that the sum of the
measures of a quadrilateral is: 2 × 180° = 360°.
The angle sum theorem of a B
quadrilateral can also be explained A in a diagram. A quadrilateral can be divided into two triangles by drawing a line between two opposite vertices. Each of these triangles C D has an angle sum of 180 degrees.
In parallelogram ABCD we know that AD || BC and AB || CD.
Diagonal BD divides the parallelogram into two triangles. A B Use parallelogram ABCD to prove that opposite sides and opposite angles in D C any parallelogram are congruent. alternate interior ADB ≅ DBC and ABD ≅ BDC angles are congruent: reflexive property: BD ≅ BD ASA property: △ABD ≅ △BCD corresponding parts of congruent triangles are AD ≅ CB and AB ≅ CD congruent (CPCTC): Also BAD ≅ BCD
A bisector is a line that goes through the midpoint of a
segment and divides the line into two congruent parts.
Given parallelogram ABCD, with diagonals AC and BD
intersecting at E, prove that AE ≅ CE and BE ≅ DE (that the diagonals of the parallelogram bisect each other) A B congruence of alternate ABD ≅ BDC E interior angles: and CAB ≅ ACD
If the opposite angles of a quadrilateral are congruent,
then the quadrilateral is a parallelogram. Given quadrilateral ABCD with A ≅ C and B ≅ D, prove that ABCD is a parallelogram. A B polygon angle b a mA + mB + mC + mD = 360° sum theorem: A≅C and B≅D: a + a + b + b = 360° a b D C group like terms: 2a + 2b = 360° divide by 2: a + b = 180° A and D are supplementary a and b are supplementary: D and C are supplementary converse of the alternate interior angle theorem: AB || CD and AD || BC
With a partner, use congruent triangles to prove that if
the opposite sides of a quadrilateral are congruent, then it is a parallelogram. A B quadrilateral ABCD with given: AB ≅ CD and AD ≅ BC hypothesis: ABCD is a parallelogram D C reflexive property: BD ≅ BD SSS congruence postulate: △ABD ≅ △CBD
CPCTC: ABD ≅ BDC
and CBD ≅ ADB converse of the alternate Since ABD ≅ BDC, AB || CD interior angle theorem: Since CBD ≅ ADB, AD || BC given AB || CD and AD || BC: ABCD is a parallelogram.
Prove that if the diagonals of a parallelogram are
congruent, then the parallelogram must be a rectangle. A B parallelogram ABCD given: where AC ≅ BD hypothesis: ABCD is a rectangle D C congruence of opposite sides of a parallelogram: AD ≅ BC and AB ≅ CD SSS congruence postulate: △ADC ≅ △BCD CPCTC: ADC ≅ BCD since AD || BC and they are ADC and BCD same side interior angles: are supplementary ADC and BCD are congruent and supplementary: mADC = mBCD = 90º
