Parallelogram

Follow the instructions to learn about the properties of this shape and its diagonals, then answer the questions below the applet. Your answers to these questions will be submitted on MOODLE, using the link "Properties of Diagonals Questionnaire." Determine the properties of the sides of the shape:
  • Measure the lengths of the four sides of the shape. Measure the slopes of the four sides. Determine the properties of the diagonals of the shape: Measure the lengths of the diagonals. Measure the angles created by the diagonals. Measure the lengths of the diagonal pieces (from the corner of the shape to the center of the shape).
Once all the measurements are provided on your shape, move the vertices of your shape to exaggerate its properties. See if the patterns and relationships between measurements remain as the shape is changed. [list]
