Example: Proving Quadrilaterals are

Parallelograms Using Algebra

For what value of x is quadrilateral HIJK a

parallelogram?

Example: Proving Quadrilaterals are

Parallelograms Using Algebra

By Theorem 8.10, if the diagonals of HIJK bisect each other then it is a parallelogram.

You are told that HO and JO are congruent. Find x.

X+40 = 2x +18

X=22

HO= (22) + 40 = 62

JO = 2(22) + 18 = 62

HO ≅ JO

Using Coordinate Geometry

When a figure is in the coordinate plane,

you can use the Distance Formula (see—it

never goes away) to prove that sides are

congruent and you can use the slope

formula (see how you use this again?) to

prove sides are parallel.

Example: Using properties of parallelograms

Show that A(2, -1), B(1,

3), C(6, 5) and D(7,1)

are the vertices of a

parallelogram.

Example: Using properties of parallelograms Method 1—Show that opposite

sides have the same slope, so they are parallel.

Slope of AB. 3-(-1) = - 4

1 - 2

Slope of CD. 1 – 5 = - 4

7 – 6

Slope of BC. 5 – 3 = 2

6 - 1 5

Slope of DA. - 1 – 1 = 2

2 - 7 5

AB and CD have the same slope, so they are parallel. Similarly, BC ║ DA.

Because opposite sides are

parallel, ABCD is a

parallelogram.

Example: Using properties of parallelograms

Method 2—Show that

opposite sides have the

same length.

AB=√(1 – 2)2 + [3 – (- 1)2] = √17

CD=√(7 – 6)2 + (1 - 5)2 = √17

BC=√(6 – 1)2 + (5 - 3)2 = √29

DA= √(2 – 7)2 + (-1 - 1)2 = √29

AB ≅ CD and BC ≅ DA.

Because both pairs of opposites

sides are congruent, ABCD is a

parallelogram.
