2. For BC, the endpoints are B(1, 0) and C(4, 1);
For AD, the endpoints are A(1, 2) and D(4, 3);
The slopes of BC and AD are equal.
3. Yes; they are vertical lines.
4. From Exercise 2, the slopes of BC and AD are the same, so the lines are parallel. From Exercise 3, AB and DC are parallel. Thus ABCD is a parallelogram.

Find values of x and y for which ABCD must be a parallelogram.
If the diagonals of quadrilateral ABCD bisect each other, then ABCD is a parallelogram by Theorem 6-5. Write and solve two equations to find values of x and y for which the diagonals bisect each other.
If x = 18 and y = 89, then ABCD is a parallelogram.
10x – 24 = 8x + 12 Diagonals of parallelograms 2y – 80 = y + 9bisect each other.

Determine whether the quadrilateral is a parallelogram. Explain.
a.
b.
a. All you know about the quadrilateral is that only one pair of opposite sides is congruent.
b. The sum of the measures of the angles of a polygon is (n – 2)180, where n represents the number of sides, so the sum of the measures of the angles of a quadrilateral is (4 – 2)180 = 360.
Therefore, you cannot conclude that the quadrilateral is a parallelogram.
If x represents the measure of the unmarked angle, x + 75 + 105 + 75 = 360, so x = 105.

The crossbars and the sections of the rulers are congruent no matter how they are positioned. So, ABCD is always a parallelogram. Since ABCD is a parallelogram, the rulers are parallel. Therefore, the direction the ship should travel is the same as the direction shown on the chart’s compass.

The captain of a fishing boat plots a course toward a
school of bluefish. One side of a parallel rule connects the boat
with the school of bluefish. The other side makes a 36° angle
north of due east on the chart’s compass. Explain how the
captain knows in which direction to sail to reach the bluefish.
Because both sections of the rulers and the crossbars are congruent, the
rulers and crossbars form a parallelogram.
Therefore, the angle shown on the chart’s compass is congruent to the angle the boat should travel, which is 36° north of due east.
