Parallelogram Properties

Properties of Parallelograms

1. Change the shape of the parallelogram and notice what happens to the side lengths. Write a conjecture about the side lengths of parallelograms. 2. Similarly, change the shape and notice what happens to the interior angle measures. Write a conjecture. 3. Notice what happens to the diagonals. Write a conjecture. 4. Try to make the parallelogram as close to a rectangle as possible. What do you notice about the diagonals? Write a conjecture. 5. Try to make the parallelogram as close to a rhombus as possible. What do you notice about the diagonals? Write a conjecture.
