Exploring Properties of Parallelograms

The video tutorial covers the definition and properties of parallelograms, including parallel and congruent opposite sides, congruent opposite angles, supplementary consecutive angles, and bisecting diagonals. It provides examples and practice problems to apply these properties and includes a proof to demonstrate the congruence of opposite sides using congruent triangles and alternate interior angles.

What defines a parallelogram?

• A circle divided into four equal parts

• A triangle with one angle over 90 degrees

• A quadrilateral with opposite sides parallel

• A shape with four right angles

Which symbol is used to indicate parallel lines?

• An arrow symbol

• A pair of vertical lines

• A single vertical line

• A dashed line

What is true about the opposite sides of a parallelogram?

• They intersect at right angles

• They are perpendicular

• They are congruent

• They are not equal

What can be said about the diagonals of a parallelogram?

• They do not intersect

• 115 degrees

• 65 degrees

During the proof that opposite sides of a parallelogram are congruent, which property is initially assumed?
