About Geometry Worksheet Assignment 4.17:
Assignment 4.17 is an introduction to the relationships of measures of angles in parallelograms and trapezoids.
Prerequisite Skills: Name angles (Assignment 2.4). Calculate the measures of angles in linear pairs (Assignment 4.4). Calculate the measures of interior angles on the same side of a transversal that intersects parallel lines (Assignment 4.6). Solve algebraic equations with one variable.
Definitions: Consecutive angles in a quadrilateral are angles with vertices that are endpoints of the same side of the quadrilateral.
Opposite angles are angles that are not consecutive.
Theorems: Consecutive angles at the endpoints of a leg of a trapezoid are supplementary.
Consecutive angles of a parallelogram are supplementary.
Opposite angles of a parallelogram are congruent.
The base angles of an isosceles trapezoid are congruent
