Quadrilateral
A closed plane
figure consisting of
four line segments
or sides.
TERMS TO
REMEMBER!
• Angles • Consecutive angles
• Diagonals • Opposite sides
• Parallel Lines• Supplementary angles
• Complementary angle
Side of a polygon
Oppposite sides
diagonal
Diagonal is a line
segment connecting the
opposite vertices (or
corners) of a polygon.
Parallel lines
Parallel lines are lines in
a plane that are always
the same distance
apart. Parallel lines
never intersect.
Consecutive
angles
Supplementary angles
are those angles that
sum up to 180 degrees.
complementary angles
Supplementary angles
are those angles that
sum up to 90 degrees.

AB CD and BC AD
Naming a Parallelogram
• A parallelogram is named using all four vertices.
• You can start from any one vertex, but you must
continue in a clockwise or counterclockwise
direction.
• For example, this can be either ABCD or
ADCB. B C
A D
Basic Properties of Parallelogram

Consecutive Angles
in Parallelograms
PROPERTY 3: Consecutive angles in a parallelogram are
supplementary.
• Therefore, m A + m B = 180 and m A + m D = 180.
134°
• If m C = 46, then m B = _____?
B C Consecutive
