What is a parallelogram?
A parallelogram is a quadrilateral that has opposite parallel sides.
The details of the reasons used to prove that the segment [tex]\overline{QR}[/tex] is parallel to segment [tex]\overline{PS}[/tex] are as follows;
Alt. int. angles theorem
The alternate interior angles theorem states that the alternate interior angles formed between two parallel lines and their common transversal are congruent
Definition of congruency
Two geometric figures are congruent if they have the same measurements.
Angle addition postulate
The angle addition postulate states that the measure of an angle ∠A, which is formed by two adjacent angles ∠B and ∠C, is the same as the sum of the measures of the two angles, ∠A = ∠B + ∠C
Substitution property
The substitution property of equality states that if a variable, a = another variable, b, a = b, then b can be plugged into expressions and equations to substitute for a and the values of the expressions and sides of equations remain the same.
Transitive property
The transitive property of equality states that if a = b, and b = c, then a = c
Reflexive property
The reflexive property of congruency states that a geometric figure is congruent to its self
ASA congruency rule
The Angle-Side-Angle congruency rule states that if two angles and the included side of one triangle are congruent to the two angles and included side of another triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.
CPCTC
CPCTC is an acronym for Corresponding Parts of Congruent Triangles are Congruent
Parallelogram opp. int. ∠s theorem
The parallelogram opposite interior angles theorem states that the opposite interior angles of a parallelogram are congruent.
