In Euclidean geometry, a parallelogram is a simple (non-self-intersecting) quadrilateral with two pairs of parallel sides. The opposite or facing sides of a parallelogram are of equal length and the opposite angles of a parallelogram are of equal measure.
When both diagonals bisect another, it's a parallelogram. Ex-tangential quadrilateral: the four extensions of the sides are tangent to an excircle. An equilic quadrilateral has two opposite equal sides that when extended, meet at 60°. A Watt quadrilateral is a quadrilateral with a pair of opposite sides of equal length. [6]
The midpoint polygon of a quadrilateral is a parallelogram called its Varignon parallelogram. If the quadrilateral is simple, the area of the parallelogram is one half the area of the original quadrilateral. The perimeter of the parallelogram equals the sum of the diagonals of the original quadrilateral.
An arbitrary quadrilateral and its diagonals. Bases of similar triangles are parallel to the blue diagonal. Ditto for the red diagonal. The base pairs form a parallelogram with half the area of the quadrilateral, A q, as the sum of the areas of the four large triangles, A l is 2 A q (each of the two pairs reconstructs the quadrilateral) while that of the small triangles, A s is a quarter of A ...
Not every parallelogram is a rhombus, though any parallelogram with perpendicular diagonals (the second property) is a rhombus. In general, any quadrilateral with perpendicular diagonals, one of which is a line of symmetry, is a kite. Every rhombus is a kite, and any quadrilateral that is both a kite and parallelogram is a rhombus.
The College Football Playoff bracket is finally set and Caroline Fenton, Jason Fitz & Adam Breneman react to the final rankings and share what things the committee got right and which were wrong.
It divides the quadrilateral into two congruent triangles that are mirror images of each other. [7] One diagonal bisects both of the angles at its two ends. [7] Kite quadrilaterals are named for the wind-blown, flying kites, which often have this shape [10] [11] and which are in turn named for a hovering bird and the sound it makes.
