Warm-up ASA HGE GHE HEG GH HE EG They are parallel.
Theorem 6.1 • Opposite sides of a parallelogram are congruent.
Consecutive Angles • Angles of a polygon that share a side are consecutive angles. • Because opposite sides of a parallelogram are parallel, consecutive angles are same-side interior angles • They are therefore SUPPLEMENTARY. • ∠a and ∠d are consecutive angles m∠a + m∠d = 180
Theorem 6-2 • Opposite angles of a parallelogram are congruent Opposite angles are supplements of the same angle. Therefore, they are congruent.
Theorem 6-3 • The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other
Proof of Theorem 6.3 • Given: Parallelogram ABCD Prove: AC and BD bisect each other at point O • If ABCD is a parallelogram, then AB and DC are parallel. • ∠1≅ ∠4 and ∠2≅ ∠3 because alternate Interior angles are congruent. • AB ≅ DC because opposite sides of a parallelogram are congruent. • ∆ADO ≅ ∆BCO by ASA • AE≅CE and BE≅DE by CPCTC 4 2 1 3
Theorem 6.4 • If three or more parallel lines cut off congruent segments on one transversal, then they cut off congruent segments on every transversal.
Example 1: Using Consecutive Angles What is the measure of ∠P? Consecutive angles are supplementary 64 + P = 180 P = 180 – 64 P = 116
Your Turn! Consecutive angles are supplementary 86 + P = 180 P = 180 –86 P = 94
