Base angles (trapezoid)
Two angles that share a base of a trapezoid
Base (trapezoid)
The parallel sides of a trapezoid
Legs (trapezoid)
The non parallel side of a trapezoid
Midsegment of a trapezoid
The segment that joins the midpoints of the nonparallel opposite sides
Parallelogram Side Theorem
Opposite sides of a parallelogram are congruent
Parallelogram Angle Theorem
Opposite angles of a parallelogram are congruent
Parallelogram Diagonal Theorem
The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other
Tri-Parallel Line Theorem
If three (or more) parallel lines cut off congruent segments on one transversal, then they cut off congruent segments on every transversal.
Converse of the Parallelogram Diagonal Theorem
If the diagonals of a quadrilateral bisect each other, then the quadrilateral is a parallelogram.
Converse of the Parallelogram Side Theorem
If one pair of opposite sides of a quadrilateral are both congruent and parallel, then the quadrilateral is a parallelogram.
Converse of the Parallelogram Angle Theorem
If both pairs of opposite angles of a quadrilateral are congruent, then the quadrilateral is a parallelogra.
Rhombus Diagonal Theorem
Each diagonal of a rhombus bisects two angles of the rhombus.
Rectangle Diagonal Theorem
The diagonals of a rectangle are congruent
Converse of the Rhombus Diagonal Theorem
If one diagonal of a parallelogram bisects two angles of the parallelogram, the the parallelogram is a rhombus.
If the diagonals of a parallelogram are perpendicular, then the parallelogram is a rhombus.
Converse of the Rectangle Diagonal Theorem
If the diagonals of a parallelogram are congruent, then the parallelogram is a rectangle.
Isosceles Trapezoid Theorem
The base angles of an isosceles trapezoid are congruent
The diagonals of an isosceles trapezoid are congruent.
