What do you KNOW about parallelgrams? In particular what is true
about opposite sides?

Do you know the definition of rhombus? Does a square fit that
definition?
Do you know what the converse of a statement is? If you don't what
could you do to find out?

What is the DEFINITION of parallelogram? What theorems do you know
about parallelgrams? Do you know how to find the distance between two
points given in coordinates? Do you know how to determine if two
lines through two sets of points,given in coordinates, are parallel?
i drew the figure but i dont know how to do the rest of that one.. and
the other 2 i dont understand how to do.. if someone could please help
me with these thatd be great.. thanks.
