Parallelograms: Quick Investigation

Here, we have a parallelogram. Interact with this app for a minute. Be sure to move the vertices (corners) of this parallelogram around. Then answer the question that follows.

What does the animation above suggest? [br][br][b]Opposite sides of a parallelogram are __________________________[u].[/u][/b]

Here, we have a parallelogram. Interact with this app for a minute. Be sure to move the vertices (corners) of this parallelogram around. Then answer the question that follows.

Any 2 interior angles of a parallelogram that are not opposite angles are called [b]consecutive angles[/b][i]. [/i]In the animation above, the two different colored angles are consecutive angles. What can we conclude here? [br][br][b]Consecutive angles of a parallelogram are __________________________[u].[/u][/b]

Here, we have a parallelogram. Interact with this app for a minute. Be sure to move the vertices (corners) of this parallelogram around. Then answer the question that follows.

A diagonal of a parallelogram is a segment that connects one vertex (corner) to its opposite vertex. What can we conclude about the diagonals of a parallelogram?

Only one diagonal intersects the other diagonal at its midpoint. Each diagonal intersects the other diagonal at its midpoint. No diagonal hits the midpoint of the other diagonal.

Here, we have a parallelogram. Interact with this app for a minute. Be sure to move the vertices (corners) of this parallelogram around. Then answer the question that follows.

Does any diagonal of a parallelogram serve as a line of symmetry?

No. No diagonal serves as a line of symmetry. Yes, only one does. Yes: Both of them do.
