There are two ways to show that a parallelogram is a rectangle. What are they?
1. Show that all pairs of adjacent sides are perpendicular. (This shows that all angles are right.)
2. Show that the diagonals have the same length.
There are 3 ways to show that a parallelogram is a rhombus. What are they?
1. Show that all 4 sides have the same length.
2. Show that the diagonals are perpendicular.
3. Show that the diagonals bisect both pairs of opposite angles.
There are 6 ways to prove that a quadrilateral is a parallelogram. What are they?
1. Show that both pairs of opposite sides are parallel.
2. Show that both pairs of opposite sides are congruent.
3. Show that both pairs of opposite angles are congruent.
4. Show that the diagonals bisect each other.
5. Show that one angle is supplementary to both of its consecutive angles.
6. Show that one pair of sides are parallel and congruent.
