it’s a parallelogram.
6.3 Proving Quadrilaterals are Parallelograms
Example 1:
Determine if the quadrilateral
must be a parallelogram. Justify
your answer.
Definition: Both pairs of opposite sides are parallel.
6-3-1: One pair of opposite sides are parallel and congruent.
6-3-2: Both pairs of opposite sides are congruent
6-3-3: Both pairs of opposite angles are congruent.
6-3-4: One angle is supplementary to both consecutive angles.
6-3-5: The diagonals bisect each other.
By 6-3-4, the quadrilateral must be a parallelogram.

Example 2:
Determine if the quadrilateral
must be a parallelogram.
Justify your answer.
Definition: Both pairs of opposite sides are parallel.
6-3-1: One pair of opposite sides are parallel and congruent.
6-3-2: Both pairs of opposite sides are congruent
6-3-3: Both pairs of opposite angles are congruent.
6-3-4: One angle is supplementary to both consecutive angles.
6-3-5: The diagonals bisect each other.
Only one pair of opposite angles are congruent, so not
enough information.

Example 3:
Determine if the quadrilateral must
be a parallelogram. Justify your
answer.
Is there anything else we can add to our picture?
Definition: Both pairs of opposite sides are parallel.
6-3-1: One pair of opposite sides are parallel and congruent.
6-3-2: Both pairs of opposite sides are congruent
6-3-3: Both pairs of opposite angles are congruent.
6-3-4: One angle is supplementary to both consecutive angles.
6-3-5: The diagonals bisect each other.
Both pairs of opposite angles are congruent, so the
quadrilateral must be a parallelogram.
6.3 Proving Quadrilaterals are Parallelograms
Example 4:
Determine if the quadrilateral must
be a parallelogram. Justify your
answer.
Definition: Both pairs of opposite sides are parallel.
6-3-1: One pair of opposite sides are parallel and congruent.
6-3-2: Both pairs of opposite sides are congruent
6-3-3: Both pairs of opposite angles are congruent.
6-3-4: One angle is supplementary to both consecutive angles.
6-3-5: The diagonals bisect each other.
Consecutive sides, not opposite sides are marked
congruent, so the quadrilateral IS NOT a parallelogram.
6.3 Proving Quadrilaterals are Parallelograms
Example 5:
Show that JKLM is a
parallelogram for a = 3
and b = 9.
Definition: Both pairs of opposite sides are parallel.
6-3-1: One pair of opposite sides are parallel and congruent.
6-3-2: Both pairs of opposite sides are congruent
6-3-3: Both pairs of opposite angles are congruent.
6-3-4: One angle is supplementary to both consecutive angles.
6-3-5: The diagonals bisect each other.
15(3)  11  10(3)  4
34  34
5(9)  6  8(9)  21
51  51
Since both pairs of opposite sides are congruent JKLM is a
parallelogram.

Example 6:
Show that PQRS is a
parallelogram for a = 2.4
and b = 9.
What will a and b let me find?
7(2.4)  2(2.4)  12
16.8  16.8
10(9)  16  9(9)  25  180
90  16  81  25  180
180  180
Definition: Both pairs of opposite sides are parallel.
6-3-1: One pair of opposite sides are parallel and congruent.
6-3-2: Both pairs of opposite sides are congruent
6-3-3: Both pairs of opposite angles are congruent.
6-3-4: One angle is supplementary to both consecutive angles.
6-3-5: The diagonals bisect each other.
Since one pair of opposite sides are both parallel and
congruent, PQRS is a parallelogram.
6.3 Proving Quadrilaterals are Parallelograms
Example 7:
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).
Definition: Opposite sides are parallel, so we need to show:
slope JK = slope LM

Since slopes of opposite sides are the same, the opposite
sides are parallel.

Example 8:
Show that quadrilateral ABCD is a parallelogram by using Theorem
6-3-1 if A(2, 3), B(6, 2), C(5, 0), and D(1, 1).
