Parallelogram m/aksluin9rriw/q
uadrilaterals-par
A quadrilateral allelogram-prese
whose opposite ntation/
sides are parallel.

Segment AD is
parallel to
segment BC and
segment AB is
parallel to
segment DC.

Therefore
quadrilateral
ABCD is a
parallelogram.
2 Opposite sides are http://www.mat

/geometry/quad
Segment AB is rilaterals/parallel
congruent to ograms/
segment DC and
segment AD is
congruent to
segment BC.

Therefore
quadrilateral
ABCD is a
parallelogram.
