  1. Objective Prove that a given quadrilateral is a parallelogram.

  2. You have learned to identify the properties of a parallelogram. Now you will be given the properties of a quadrilateral and will have to tell if the quadrilateral is a parallelogram. To do this, you can use the definition of a parallelogram or the conditions that follow.

  3. There are several ways to determine whether a quadrilateral is a parallelogram. You can use the given information about a figure to decide which condition is best to apply.

  4. Example 1: Verifying Figures are Parallelograms Show that JKLM is a parallelogram for a = 3 and b = 9.

  5. Example 2: Verifying Figures are Parallelograms Show that PQRS is a parallelogram for x = 10 and y = 6.5.

  6. Check It Out! Show that PQRS is a parallelogram for a = 2.4 and b = 9.

  7. Example 3: Applying Conditions for Parallelograms Determine if the quadrilateral must be a parallelogram. Justify your answer.

  8. Example 4: Applying Conditions for Parallelograms Determine if the quadrilateral must be a parallelogram. Justify your answer.

  9. Check It Out! Determine if the quadrilateral must be a parallelogram. Justify your answer.

  10. Check It Out! Determine if each quadrilateral must be a parallelogram. Justify your answer.

  11. Helpful Hint To say that a quadrilateral is a parallelogram by definition, you must show that both pairs of opposite sides are parallel.

  12. Example 5: Proving Parallelograms in the Coordinate Plane Show that quadrilateral JKLM is a parallelogram by using the definition of parallelogram. J(–1, –6), K(–4, –1), L(4, 5), M(7, 0).
