Definition

A parallelogram is a quadrilater with opposite sides parallel (and congruent).

Properties

  1. Opposite sides are congruent and parallel
  2. Opposite angles are congruent, consecutive angles are supplementary (their sum is 180°)
  3. Diagonals intersect in their midpoint

Data Formula
Perimeter 2p = 2 × b + 2 × S
Area A = b × h
Base b = A / h
Height h = A / b
Base b = (2p - 2 × S) / 2
Oblique Side S = (2p - 2 × b) / 2
