You can show that a quadrilateral is a parallelogram if you can show
parallelogram. Explain.
that one of the following is true.
4. A(2,5), B(5,9), C(6,3), D(3,-1)
Def: Both pairs opp.
Sides
Parallelogram
Both pairs of opp. Sides → Parallelogram
Diagonals bisect each other → Parallelogram
Both pairs opp. Angles → Parallelogram
One pair of opp. Sides are both
and → Parallelogram
