Determining If the Figure Is a Parallelogram

If you have a parallelogram, how can you use what you know about angles in a triangle to find the angles in the parallelogram?

• Parallelograms have parallel lines so the angles are 180.

• The angles in a triangle have to equal 180 and there are two triangles in a parallelogram so that must equal 360.

• Triangles and parallelograms are the same.

• Apples and bananas are fruit.
