My geometry students are going to use Geogebra to construct a quadrilateral (based on its definition) for their next blog post.
Problem: I couldn't see the embedded applet when using Chrome when I first started. Then magically, it worked.
Here is a link to the prompt.
I made a parallelogram by drawing a line, and then the line parallel to it. I repeated the process and then connected where the lines intersected. The resulting polygon is a parallelogram.
If a quadrilateral has both pairs of opposite sides parallel, then it is a parallelogram.
As you can see above, no matter how you drag around the diagram, the following remains true:
AB and CD bisect each other
BC = AD
BD = AC
BC \\ AD
BD \\ AC
m<CBA = m<CAD
m<BDA = m<ACB
