Example: Proving Quadrilaterals are
Parallelograms Using Algebra
For what value of x is quadrilateral HIJK a
parallelogram?

Example: Proving Quadrilaterals are
Parallelograms Using Algebra
By Theorem 8.10, if the diagonals of HIJK bisect each other then it is a parallelogram.
You are told that HO and JO are congruent. Find x.
X+40 = 2x +18
X=22
HO= (22) + 40 = 62
JO = 2(22) + 18 = 62
HO ≅ JO

Using Coordinate Geometry
When a figure is in the coordinate plane,
you can use the Distance Formula (see—it
never goes away) to prove that sides are
congruent and you can use the slope
formula (see how you use this again?) to
prove sides are parallel.

Example: Using properties of parallelograms Method 1—Show that opposite
sides have the same slope, so they are parallel.
Slope of AB. 3-(-1) = - 4
1 - 2
Slope of CD. 1 – 5 = - 4
7 – 6
Slope of BC. 5 – 3 = 2

Slope of DA. - 1 – 1 = 2

AB and CD have the same slope, so they are parallel. Similarly, BC ║ DA.

Example: Using properties of parallelograms
Method 2—Show that
opposite sides have the
same length.
AB=√(1 – 2)2 + [3 – (- 1)2] = √17
CD=√(7 – 6)2 + (1 - 5)2 = √17
BC=√(6 – 1)2 + (5 - 3)2 = √29
DA= √(2 – 7)2 + (-1 - 1)2 = √29
AB ≅ CD and BC ≅ DA.
Because both pairs of opposites
sides are congruent, ABCD is a
parallelogram.
