You take your ruler and put it along the edge you want to merasure, line the begining of the scale (0) up with the corner and read off the length at the other corner.

What 3 conjectures can you make about Parallelograms?

The opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal in length, which implies that if one side is known, the corresponding opposite side will have the same measurement. The opposite angles of a parallelogram are congruent, meaning that if one angle is measured, the other angle directly across from it will have the same degree. The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other, indicating that each diagonal divides the parallelogram into two congruent triangles.

How do you find the length of a diagonal if you have a base being a parallelogram and only one side given?

You cannot. With only the base given (a parallelogram) you don't even know what the shape is: it could be a parallelepiped, or a parallelogram based pyramid or one of several other shapes.

If two parallelograms are similar what do you know about the ratios of the two side lengths within one parallelograms and the ratios of the correspondingside lengths in the other parallelogram?

If and when two parallelograms are similar, you know that the ratio of two side lengths within one parallelogram will describe the relationship between the corresponding side lengths in a similar parallelogram. If and when two parallelograms are similar, you know that the ratio of corresponding side lengths in the other parallelogram will give you the scale factor that relates each side length in one parallelogram to the corresponding side length in a similar parallelogram.


How do you construct a parallelogram whose one side and two diagonals are given?

To construct a parallelogram with one side and two diagonals given, start by drawing the given side as one of the sides of the parallelogram. Label the endpoints of this side. Then, using a compass, draw arcs from each endpoint of the side with radii equal to the lengths of the diagonals, intersecting at two points. These intersection points will be the other two vertices of the parallelogram. Finally, connect these vertices to form the complete parallelogram.


How is a square different from a parallelogram?

A parallelogram is a shape or figure with Four sides that have one of the opposite sides of one side the same lenth. So a square IS a parallelogram.
