Why is a kite not a parallelogram?
A kite is not a parallelogram because the parallelogram's angles are tilted and a kite isn't.
How do you draw a quadrilateral with 1 pair of parallel sides?
A quadrilateral that is not a parallelogram (two sets of parallel sides) may be a trapezoid or a trapezium (US terms). To draw a trapezium (irregular quadrilateral), draw two parallel lines and connect them with unequal lines at non-congruent angles. If you make the angles opposite and congruent, you have drawn a trapezoid, which looks like a small stepstool with a top smaller than the base. If you make the connecting lines of equal length, you have drawn a trapezoid or parallelogram.
Why is a parallelogram called a parallelogram?
Because it is formed of pairs of parallel lines.
Prove that if the diagonal of a parallelogram does not bisect the angles through the vertices to which the diagonal is drawn the parallelogram is not a rhombus?
Suppose that the parallelogram is a rhombus (a parallelogram with equal sides). If we draw the diagonals, isosceles triangles are formed (where the median is also an angle bisector and perpendicular to the base). Since the diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other, and the diagonals don't bisect the vertex angles where they are drawn, then the parallelogram is not a rhombus.
What types of lines do a parallelogram have?
2 sets of Parallel lines
Can lines of symmetry be drawn in a parallelogram?
Not normally
What is symmetric in geometry?
square, rectangle, parallelogram, rhombus, triangle, kite
How many triangles are formed when any parallelogram and its diagonals are drawn?
how many triangles are formed when any parallelogram and it diagonals are drawn
Why is a kite not a parallelogram?
A kite is not a parallelogram because the parallelogram's angles are tilted and a kite isn't.
How many lines of symmetry are in a parallelogram with four equal sides?
a parallelogram with four equal sides must be a square. therefore, a line can be drawn diagonally (crossing through the middle, and touching the corners) on the upper left to the lower right, and from upper right to lower left. Also, a line can be drawn vertically and horizontally in the exact middle. that makes 4 lines of symmetry.
How many lines of symmetry does a paraelleogram have?
A parallelogram need have no lines of symmetry.
Why is parallelogram named parallelogram?
because both lines are paralle so it is a parallelogram
How many pairs of congruent lines are in a parallelogram?
A parallelogram has two pairs of opposite congruent lines
What is a 4 sided polygon with 2 pairs of parallel lines but NO lines of symmetry?
parallelogram
Why is a plane drawn as a parallelogram?
Planes are not necessarily drawn as parallelograms. The Cartesian plane is drawn as a rectangle and, contrary to what the previous answerer [ignorantly] claimed, it does have a ninety degree angle where the axes meet. The representation of a plane in 3-d space is often depicted as a parallelogram in much the same way that the drawing of a cube has parallelograms for its lateral faces. A parallelogram is a compromise between lines of perspective (which should meet at the centre of perspective) and the wish to maintain the parallel nature of these edges.
Does a parallelogram have parallel lines and perpendicular lines?
no it does not
Properties of a parallelogram?
A parallelogram has 2 pairs of parallel lines
