1. 6.2 Properties of Parallelograms

2. Theorems • If a quadrilateral is a parallelogram, then its opposite sides are congruent. • If a quadrilateral is a parallelogram, then its opposite angles are congruent. Q R S P

3. Theorems • If a quadrilateral is a parallelogram, then its consecutive angles are supplementary. m<P + m<Q = 180° m<Q + m<R = 180° m<R + m<S = 180° m<S + m<P = 180° Q R S P

4. Using Properties of Parallelograms • PQRS is a parallelogram. Find the angle measure. • m< R • m< Q Q 70 ° R 70 ° + m < Q = 180 ° m< Q = 110 ° 70° P S

5. Using Algebra with Parallelograms • PQRS is a parallelogram. Find the value of h. P Q 3h 120° S R

6. Theorems • If a quadrilateral is a parallelogram, then its diagonals bisect each other. R Q M P S
