Properties of Parallelograms
Question 1
Use the distance/length tool to find the length of each side. What is the relationship between opposite side lengths? Drag some of the vertices to see if this is always true.
Question 2
Use the angle tool to find the measure of each interior angle. a. What is the relationship between opposite angles? b. What is the relationship between consecutive (angles that share a side) angles? Drag some of the vertices to see if this is always true.
Question 3
Use the segment tool to create 2 diagonals. One connecting A and D and another connecting B and C. Put a point at their intersection. Now use the distance/length to find the length from each vertex to that intersection point. What do you notice is true? Drag some of the vertices to see if this is always true.
