It is possible to combine the theorem from the Explore and the definition of a parallelogram to state the following condition for proving a quadrilateral is a parallelogram. You will prove this in the exercises.

Theorem

Explain 1 Proving the Opposite Angles Criterion for a Parallelogram

You can use relationships between angles to prove that a quadrilateral is a parallelogram.

Theorem

If both pairs of opposite angles of a quadrilateral are congruent, then the quadrilateral is a parallelogram.

Example 1 Prove that a quadrilateral is a parallelogram if its opposite angles are congruent.

Given: ∠A ≅ ∠C and ∠B ≅ ∠D Prove: ABCD is a parallelogram.

m∠A + m∠B + m∠C + m∠D = 360° by .

From the given information, m∠A = m∠ and m∠B = m∠ . By substitution,

m∠A + m∠D + m∠A + m∠D = 360° or 2m∠ + 2m∠ = 360°. Dividing

both sides by 2 gives . Therefore, ∠A and ∠D are

supplementary and so _ AB   ‖   _ DC by the

Math BackgroundIn this lesson, students extend their earlier work with the properties of parallelograms to establish sufficient conditions for concluding that a quadrilateral is a parallelogram. A quadrilateral is a parallelogram if its opposite sides are parallel, if its opposite sides are congruent, if its opposite angles are congruent, if its diagonals bisect each other, or if one pair of opposite sides is congruent and parallel. It is worth emphasizing that the statements to prove in the previous lesson all have the form “If a quadrilateral is a parallelogram, then [property].” In contrast, the statements to prove in this lesson all have the form, “If [condition], then the quadrilateral is a parallelogram.”

EXPLORE Proving the Opposite Sides Criterion for a Parallelogram

INTEGRATE TECHNOLOGYStudents have the option of doing the proof activity either in the book or online.

QUESTIONING STRATEGIESWhat is a sufficient condition to prove that a quadrilateral is a parallelogram? Either both

pairs of opposite sides are parallel, or both pairs of

opposite sides are congruent.

EXPLAIN 1 Proving the Opposite Angles Criterion for a Parallelogram

INTEGRATE MATHEMATICS PRACTICESFocus on Math ConnectionsMP.1 The proof of this criterion depends on students understanding the hypothesis and conclusion of the statement. Both pairs of opposite angles are given to be congruent, and that is part of the hypothesis. Having these angles congruent leads to both pairs of opposite sides of the quadrilateral being parallel, which satisfies the definition of a parallelogram. Stating that the quadrilateral is a parallelogram is the conclusion.

QUESTIONING STRATEGIESSuppose only one pair of opposite angles of a quadrilateral are congruent. Can you still

conclude that the quadrilateral is a parallelogram? Explain. No; in this case, the quadrilateral could

be a kite.

Explain 2 Proving the Bisecting Diagonals Criterion for a Parallelogram

You can use information about the diagonals in a given figure to show that the figure is a parallelogram.

3. Critique Reasoning A student claimed that you can also write the proof using the SSS Triangle Congruence Theorem since ― AB ≅ ― CD and ― AD ≅ ― CB . Do you agree? Justify your response.

Explain 3 Using a Parallelogram to Prove the Concurrency of the Medians of a Triangle

Sometimes properties of one type of geometric figure can be used to recognize properties of another geometric figure. Recall that you explored triangles and found that the medians of a triangle are concurrent at a point that is 2 __ 3 of the distance from each vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side. You can prove this theorem using one of the conditions for a parallelogram from this lesson.

Example 3 Complete the proof of the Concurrency of Medians of a Triangle Theorem.

COLLABORATIVE LEARNING

Peer-to-Peer ActivityDivide students into pairs. Have one student draw different quadrilaterals (kites, rhombuses, rectangles, etc.). Have the other student determine whether the quadrilateral meets any of the criteria for a parallelogram, and list them. After a while, have the students switch roles.

EXPLAIN 2 Proving the Bisecting Diagonals Criterion for a Parallelogram

INTEGRATE MATHEMATICAL PRACTICESFocus on ReasoningMP.2 Students should read this criterion carefully and pay attention to the sufficient conditions given and to how the criterion is proved. The proof depends on students using the SAS Congruence Criterion, the Vertical Angles Theorem, and the Opposite Sides Criterion. Pairs of triangles formed by the diagonals are congruent, and this makes the opposite sides of the quadrilateral congruent, so that the Opposite Sides Criterion (for a parallelogram) applies.

QUESTIONING STRATEGIESHow does the proof of this criterion use the Opposite Sides Criterion? The proof uses the

SAS triangle congruence criteria and the fact that

corresponding parts of congruent triangles are

congruent to show that the opposite sides of

a quadrilateral are congruent. Then the Opposite

Sides Criterion is applied to state that the

quadrilateral must be a parallelogram.

In the proof of the Opposite Sides Criterion, which theorem justifies that both pairs of

opposite sides are parallel? Once the alternate

interior angles are stated to be congruent, the

Converse of the Alternate Interior Angles Theorem

states that the lines are parallel.

Let △ABC be a triangle such that M is the midpoint of _ AB and N is the midpoint

of _ BC . Label the point where the two medians intersect as P. Draw

_ MN .

_ MN is a midsegment of △ABC because it connects the

midpoints of two sides of the triangle.

_ MN is parallel to and MN = by the

Triangle Midsegment Theorem.

Let Q be the midpoint of _ PA and let R be the midpoint of

_ PC .

Draw _ QR .

_ QR is a midsegment of △APC because it connects the

midpoints of two sides of the triangle.

_ QR is parallel to and QR = by the

Triangle Midsegment Theorem.

So, you can conclude that MN = by substitution and that

― MN ‖ ― QR because .

Now draw _ MQ and

_ NR and consider quadrilateral MQRN.

Quadrilateral MQRN is a parallelogram because

.

Since the diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other, then QP = .

Also, AQ = QP since .

Therefore, AQ = QP = . This shows that point P is located on _ AN at a point that is 2 __ 3 of the

distance from A to N.

By similar reasoning, the diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other, so RP = .

Also, CR = RP since .

Therefore, CR = RP = . This shows that point P is located on _ CM at a point that is 2 __ 3 of the

distance from C to M.

You can repeat the proof using any two medians of △ABC. The same reasoning shows that the medians from vertices B and C intersect at a point that is also 2 __ 3 of the distance from C to M, so this point must also be point P. This shows that the three medians intersect at a unique point P and that the point is 2 __ 3 of the distance from each vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side.

EXPLAIN 3 Using a Parallelogram to Prove the Concurrency of the Medians of a Triangle

QUESTIONING STRATEGIESHow is the Triangle Midsegment Theorem used in proving the concurrency of the

medians in a triangle? The Triangle Midsegment

Theorem is used to show that the opposite sides of

a quadrilateral are parallel. This creates a

parallelogram within the triangle. Then, since the

diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other, the

parallelogram in turn is used to prove the

concurrency of the medians in the triangle.

AVOID COMMON ERRORSStudents may be confused when asked to locate the midsegments in a triangle that already has the medians labeled for this proof. Have students use one color pencil to mark the medians, a second color pencil to mark the midsegments, and a third color pencil to mark the congruent segments on the diagonals of the parallelogram.

DIFFERENTIATE INSTRUCTION

Kinesthetic ExperienceHave students use raw spaghetti to demonstrate the theorems in the lesson. For example, ask them to try to form a parallelogram with opposite sides that are congruent but not parallel, or vice versa. This emphasizes that, in the statement that a quadrilateral with a pair of opposite sides parallel and congruent leads to a parallelogram, the same pair of opposite sides must be congruent and parallel.

Explain 4 Verifying Figures Are ParallelogramsYou can use information about sides, angles, and diagonals in a given figure to show that the figure is a parallelogram.

Example 4 Show that each quadrilateral is a parallelogram for the given values of the variables.

x = 7 and y = 4

Step 1 Find BC and DA.

BC = x + 14 = 7 + 14 = 21

DA = 3x = 3 (7) = 21

Step 2 Find AB and CD.

AB = 5y - 4 = 5 (4) - 4 = 16

CD = 2y + 8 = 2 (4) + 8 = 16

So, BC = DA and AB = CD. ABCD is a parallelogram since both pairs of opposite sides are congruent.

z = 11 and w = 4.5

Step 1 Find m∠F and m∠H.

m∠F = =

m∠H = =

Step 2 Find m∠E and m∠G.

m∠E = =

m∠G = =

So, m∠F = m∠ and m∠E = m∠ . EFGH is a parallelogram since

parallelogram? Algebra is used to show that the

opposite sides are congruent after the given values

are substituted into the expression. The figure

AVOID COMMON ERRORSSome students may not know which criterion to use when proving that a quadrilateral is a parallelogram. Explain that they should study the given information carefully to determine which condition is best to apply. For example, if they are given congruent angles, then they should look only at the two criteria that deal with angles: both pairs of opposite angles are congruent, or one angle is supplementary to both of its consecutive angles.

PQ = 7a = 7 (2.4) = 16.8

RS = 2a + 12 = 2 (2.4) + 12 = 16.8

m∠R = (9b + 25) ° = (9 (9) + 25) ° = 106°

So, PQ = RS. Also, ― PQ ‖  ― RS since same-side

interior angles are supplementary.

PQRS is a parallelogram since a pair of

opposite sides are parallel and congruent.

JN = 2x + 2 = 2 (6) + 2 = 14

LN = 4x - 10 = 4 (6) - 10 = 14

KN = 8y - 6 = 8 (3.5) - 6 = 22

MN = 6y + 1 = 6 (3.5) + 1 = 22

So JN = LN and KN = MN. JKLM is a

parallelogram since the diagonals

bisect each other.

In the previous lesson, you begin with a quadrilateral that is known to be a parallelogram

and each theorem states a property of the parallelogram. In this lesson, you begin with a

quadrilateral and each theorem states conditions that guarantee that the quadrilateral is

a parallelogram.

The proof involves creating a quadrilateral that needs to be shown is a parallelogram.

This could not be done before this lesson.

Possible answer: Since right angles are congruent, opposite angles of ABCD are congruent.

Therefore, ABCD is a parallelogram. Opposite sides of ABCD are congruent, so ABCD is a

parallelogram. ∠A is supplementary to ∠D, so ― AB ‖  ― CD . Therefore, ABCD is a parallelogram

since a pair of opposite sides are congruent and parallel.

13. Communicate Mathematical Ideas Kalil wants to write the proof that the medians of a triangle are concurrent at a point that is 2 __ 3 of the distance from each vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side. He starts by drawing △PQR and two medians,

_ PK and

_ QL . He labels the point of intersection as

point J, as shown. What segment should Kalil draw next? What conclusions can he make about this segment? Explain.

14. Critical Thinking Jasmina said that you can draw a parallelogram using the following steps.

1. Draw a point P.

2. Use a ruler to draw a segment that is 1 inch long with its midpoint at P.

3. Use the ruler to draw a segment that is 2 inches long with its midpoint at P.

4. Use the ruler to connect the endpoints of the segments to form a parallelogram.

Does Jasmina’s method always work? Is there ever a time when it would not produce a parallelogram? Explain.

Yes. A pair of alternate interior angles are congruent, so a pair of opposite sides are parallel. The same pair of opposite sides are congruent by SAS and CPCTC.

No. One pair of opposite sides are congruent and one diagonal is bisected by the other.

Yes. The 73° angle is supplementary to both of the 107° angles. This shows that both pairs of opposite sides are parallel by the Converse of the Same-Side Interior Angles Postulate.

No. You are only given the measures of the four angles formed by the intersecting diagonals of the quadrilateral.

He should draw _ KL . _ KL is a midsegment of △PQR because it connects the

midpoints of two sides of the triangle. ― KL is parallel to

― PQ and KL = 1 _ 2 PQ

by the Triangle Midsegment Theorem.

The method always works as long as the second segment does not overlap the first segment. The two segments are diagonals. Since the diagonals bisect each other, the quadrilateral is a parallelogram.

a. Yes; The diagonals of the quadrilateral bisect each other, so JKLM is a parallelogram.

b. Yes; A pair of opposite sides are both parallel and congruent, so JKLM is a parallelogram.

c. No; none of the conditions for a parallelogram are met.

d. No; none of the conditions for a parallelogram are met.

e. Yes; A pair of opposite sides are both parallel and congruent, so JKLM is a parallelogram.

Possible answer: The student used an invalid reason in Step 7. The student should also show that ̄ AD ‖ ̄ CB . This is true because ∠1 ≅ ∠2 and these are alternate interior angles. Then the student can conclude that ABCD is a parallelogram because a pair of opposite sides are both parallel and congruent.

INTEGRATE MATHEMATICAL PRACTICESFocus on Critical ThinkingMP.3 At this point, students may be thinking of the theorems from Lesson 9–1 and Lesson 9–2 as “if and only if statements” (biconditionals) about the relationship between quadrilaterals and parallelograms. Many of the theorems can be combined to be biconditionals, but make sure students can still focus on which phrase is the hypothesis and which phrase is the conclusion when they apply the theorems. For the exercises in this lesson, the hypothesis includes a statement that a quadrilateral has certain given attributes. The conclusion of the statement is that the quadrilateral is a parallelogram.

20. Persevere in Problem Solving The plan for a city park shows that the park is a quadrilateral with straight paths along the diagonals. For what values of the variables is the park a parallelogram? In this case, what are the lengths of the paths?

21. Analyze Relationships When you connect the midpoints of the consecutive sides of any quadrilateral, the resulting quadrilateral is a parallelogram. Use the figure below to explain why this is true. (Hint: Draw a diagonal of ABCD.)

If the diagonals bisect each other, then RSTU will

be a parallelogram, so assume RV = TV and SV = UV.

16y − 10 = 12y + 50

4y − 10 = 50

4y = 60

y = 15

5x + 2y = 2x + 4y

5x + 2 (15) = 2x + 4 (15)

5x + 30 = 2x + 60

3x + 30 = 60

3x = 30

x = 10

UV = 12y + 50 = 12 (15) + 50 = 230 m

US = 2UV = 2 (230) = 460 m

RV = 5x + 2y = 5 (10) + 2 (15) = 80 m

RT = 2RV = 2 (80) = 160 m

The lengths of the paths are 230 m and 160 m.

Possible answer: When you draw ― AC , you form △DAC and △BAC.

― LM is a

midsegment of △DAC, so ― LM ∥

― AC and LM = 1 _ 2

AC. ― JK is a midsegment of

△BAC , so ― JK ∥

― AC and JK = 1 _ 2

AC. This shows that ― LM ∥

― JK and LM = JK,

so ― LM ≅

― JK . A pair of opposite sides of JKLM are both parallel and

congruent, so JKLM is a parallelogram.

Lesson Performance TaskIn this lesson you’ve learned three theorems for confirming that a figure is a parallelogram.

• If both pairs of opposite sides of a quadrilateral are congruent, then the quadrilateral is a parallelogram.

• If both pairs of opposite angles of a quadrilateral are congruent, then the quadrilateral is a parallelogram.

• If the diagonals of a quadrilateral bisect each other, then the quadrilateral is a parallelogram.

For each of the following situations, choose one of the three theorems and use it in your explanation. You should choose a different theorem for each explanation.

a. You’re an amateur astronomer, and one night you see what appears to be a parallelogram in the constellation of Lyra. Explain how you could verify that the figure is a parallelogram.

b. You have a frame shop and you want to make an interesting frame for an advertisement for your store. You decide that you’d like the frame to be a parallelogram but not a rectangle. Explain how you could construct the frame.

c. You’re using a toolbox with cantilever shelves like the one shown here. Explain how you can confirm that the brackets that attach the shelves to the box form a parallelogram ABCD.

A D

CB

a. Possible answer: You could take a photograph of the figure and with a protractor measure to see if the opposite angles are congruent. (If both pairs of opposite angles of a quadrilateral are congruent, then the quadrilateral is a parallelogram.)

b. Possible answer: Choose two lengths of framing materials of one length and two of another. (If both pairs of opposite sides of a quadrilateral are congruent, then the quadrilateral is a parallelogram.) As long as the angles of the frame are not right angles, the frame is not a rectangle.

c. Possible answer: Attach diagonal braces to opposite corners and check to see if they bisect each other. (If the diagonals of a quadrilateral bisect each other, then the quadrilateral is a parallelogram.)

EXTENSION ACTIVITY

The night sky is divided into 88 constellations, groups of stars that appear to form figures or shapes. Many of the constellations are wholly or partially geometrical in design. Have students research the constellations, looking for triangles and quadrilaterals in the shapes. Students may wish to start with the parallelogram in Lyra, shown in the photo in the Lesson Performance Task Preview. Students may draw or print the shapes they find, and add to them interesting information about the shapes, such as the names of the stars that form them, the distances of the stars, and traditional stories told about the constellations in which the shapes appear.

CONNECT VOCABULARY • What is the converse of a statement? The

converse is the statement that results from

interchanging the hypothesis and conclusion of

the given statement.

• What is the converse of this statement: “If a quadrilateral is a parallelogram, then both pairs of opposite sides are congruent”? If both pairs of

opposite sides of a quadrilateral are congruent,

then the quadrilateral is a parallelogram.

INTEGRATE MATHEMATICAL PRACTICESFocus on Critical ThinkingMP.3 Give an example of a theorem involving quadrilaterals that is true but whose converse is false. Explain why the converse is false. Sample answer:

Theorem: If a figure is a square, then it has four

sides. Converse: If a figure has four sides, then it is a

square. The converse is false because there are

many four-sided figures that are not squares,

including trapezoids and rhombuses that contain

no right angles.

Scoring Rubric2 points: Student correctly solves the problem and explains his/her reasoning.1 point: Student shows good understanding of the problem but does not fully solve or explain.0 points: Student does not demonstrate understanding of the problem.
