In this worksheet, we will practice determining whether a quadrilateral is a parallelogram or not and using the properties of parallelograms to find unknown angles or lengths.

Q1:

In parallelogram 𝐴𝐵𝐶𝐷, 𝐵𝐶=89, 𝑀𝐵=46, and 𝑀𝐶=78. What is the perimeter of 𝐴𝑀𝐷?

Q2:

If 𝑄𝑅𝑆𝑇 is a parallelogram, find the value of 𝑧.

Q3:

Find the value of 𝑧 in the following parallelogram.

Q4:

In the figure below, given that 𝐴𝐵𝐶𝐷 is a rectangle, 𝑂𝐵𝐶𝐻 is a parallelogram, and 𝐴𝑂=3.7cm, find the length of 𝐻𝐴.

Q5:

What can you say about the diagonals of a parallelogram?

  • AThey are equal in length.
  • BThey bisect each other.
  • CThey are perpendicular.

Q6:

Given that 𝐴𝐵𝐶𝐷 is a parallelogram and 𝐶𝑀=8.6cm, find the perimeter of 𝐴𝐵𝐶.

Q7:

Given that 𝐶𝑀=16cm, determine the length of 𝐴𝐶.

Q8:

The given figure shows a parallelogram 𝐴𝐵𝐶𝐷.

Using what you know about alternate angles, determine which angle will have the same measure as 𝐴𝐵𝐷.

  • A𝐵𝐷𝐶
  • B𝐵𝐴𝐷
  • C𝐵𝐶𝐷

  • E𝐵𝐷𝐴

Which angle will be equal in measure to 𝐴𝐷𝐵?

  • A𝐵𝐷𝐶
  • B𝐵𝐴𝐷
  • C𝐶𝐵𝐷
  • D𝐶𝐵𝐴
  • E𝐴𝐷𝐶

𝐵𝐷 is a common side to triangle 𝐴𝐵𝐷 and triangle 𝐶𝐷𝐵. Using the information from the earlier parts of the question, can we prove that triangles 𝐴𝐵𝐷 and 𝐶𝐷𝐵 are congruent? If yes, by which congruence criteria?

  • AYes, by ASA
  • BNo
  • CYes, by SAS
  • DYes, by SSS
  • EYes, by HL

What will be true of 𝐴𝐵 and 𝐶𝐷 and of 𝐵𝐶 and 𝐴𝐷?

  • A𝐴𝐵=𝐶𝐷, 𝐴𝐷𝐵𝐶
  • B𝐴𝐵𝐶𝐷, 𝐴𝐷=𝐵𝐶
  • C𝐴𝐵=𝐶𝐷, 𝐴𝐷=𝐵𝐶
  • D𝐴𝐵𝐶𝐷, 𝐴𝐷𝐵𝐶

What will be true of angles 𝐵𝐴𝐷 and 𝐵𝐶𝐷 and of angles 𝐴𝐵𝐶 and 𝐴𝐷𝐶?

  • A𝑚𝐵𝐴𝐷=𝑚𝐵𝐶𝐷, 𝑚𝐴𝐵𝐶=𝑚𝐴𝐷𝐶
  • B𝑚𝐵𝐴𝐷𝑚𝐵𝐶𝐷, 𝑚𝐴𝐵𝐶=𝑚𝐴𝐷𝐶
  • C𝑚𝐵𝐴𝐷𝑚𝐵𝐶𝐷, 𝑚𝐴𝐵𝐶𝑚𝐴𝐷𝐶
  • D𝑚𝐵𝐴𝐷=𝑚𝐵𝐶𝐷, 𝑚𝐴𝐵𝐶𝑚𝐴𝐷𝐶

Q9:
