Consecutive angles
Angles of a polygon that share a side are consecutive angles
Theorem 6-1
Opposite sides of a parallelogram are congruent
Theorem 6-2
Opposite angles of a parallelogram are congruent
Theorem 6-3
The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other
Theorem 6-4
If three (or more) parallel lines cut off congruent segments on one transversal, then they cut off congruent segments on every transversal
Theorem 6-5
If both pairs of opposite sides of a quadrilateral are congruent, then the quadrilateral is a parallelogram
Theorem 6-6
If both pairs of opposite angles of a quadrilateral are congruent, then the quadrilateral is a parallelogram
Theorem 6-7
If the diagonals of a quadrilateral bisect each other, then the quadrilateral is a parallelogram
