Proving a Quadrilateral Is a Parallelogram

Question 10 • Integrated Math II (B) - SHARP

Which of the following conditions in a quadrilateral proves it is a parallelogram?

Answer
A
One pair of opposite sides are congruent.
B
One angle is supplementary to both consecutive angles.
C
One pair of opposite angles are congruent.
D
The diagonals are congruent.

Explanation

Let the angle in the condition be A. Its two consecutive angles, B and D, are each supplementary to A, so B = D. Since the angles of a quadrilateral total 360°, the remaining angle C equals A. Thus both pairs of opposite angles are congruent, which proves the quadrilateral is a parallelogram. The correct choice is B: one angle is supplementary to both consecutive angles.
