Below is a parallelogram. To discover the properties of ALL parallelograms do the following:[br][br][list=1][br][*] Measure the distance of the diagonals, sides, and from the point of intersection to each vertex (10 measurements).[/*][*] Measure the angles measurements (4 measurements)[br][/*][*] Move your parallelogram around . . . do your properties stay true? [br][br][/*][/list]
1) What do you notice about the opposite sides?[br]2) Are the diagonals congruent?[br]3) What is true about the diagonals?[br]4) What do you notice about the opposite angles?[br]5) What do you notice about the consecutive angles?
