Brad proved that ABCD is a parallelogram by proving both sets of opposite sides to be parallel. What should he do next if he wants to prove it is a rhombus?

• Find the distance of each line to see if they are congruent. 

• Compare the slopes of adjacent sides to see if they are perpendicular.

Brad proved that ABCD is a parallelogram and that all sides had the same distance What should he do next if he wants to prove it is a square?

• He doesn't need to do anything else, it looks like a square so he is all set. 

• Compare the slopes of adjacent sides to see if they are perpendicular.
