- A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with two pairs of parallel sides.
- In a paralellogram, the opposite sides are equal and the opposite angles are equal.
- The sum of the consecutive angles of a parallelogram is equal to \(180^\circ:\)
\(\alpha + \beta = 180^\circ\) - A parallelogram in which all four angles are right angles is called a rectangle. A parallelogram in which all four sides are equal is called a rhombus.
- Relationship between the sides and the diagonals of a parallelogram
\(d_1^2 + d_2^2 =\) \( 2\left( {{a^2} + {b^2}} \right)\) - Altitude of a parallelogram
\(h = b\sin \alpha =\) \( b\sin \beta\) - Perimeter of a parallelogram
\(P = 2\left({a + b} \right)\) - Area of a parallelogram
\(S = ah =\) \(ab\sin \alpha =\) \({\large\frac{1}{2}\normalsize} {d_1}{d_2}\sin \varphi \)
