Parallelogram Theorem #1 Converse: If each of the diagonals of a quadrilateral divide the quadrilateral into two congruent triangles, then the quadrilateral is a parallelogram.
Q. How is Triangle related to a quadrilateral?
The triangle’s area formula is half of the quadrilateral’s area formula because a triangle is half of a quadrilateral. As you can see triangles and quadrilaterals have many properties that give them important relationships with each other.

Q. How do diagonals of quadrilaterals make triangles?
On each side of the diagonal of a quadrilateral, there are two line segments adjacent to the diagonal. So there are two triangles that share the diagonal as a side. A segment drawn from a vertex perpendicular to the opposite side will create two right triangles.
Q. How do you construct a quadrilateral triangle?
1. Construct quadrilaterals when four sides and one diagonal is given.
- Draw Δ PQR using SSS construction condition.
- With P as the centre, draw an arc of radius 5.5 cm.
- With R as the centre, draw an arc of radius 5 cm.
- S is the point of intersection of the two arcs.
- PQRS is the required quadrilateral.
Q. How do you separate triangles into other triangles?
Answer Expert Verified Trace a straight line from one vertex, dividing the original angle between the two intersecting sements that form the vertex, to the opposite side (until you intercept the opposite side). That will split the original triangle into two smaller triangles, with one common side.
Q. How do you make a parallelogram with 2 triangles?
Going the other way around, two identical copies of a triangle can always be arranged to form a parallelogram, regardless of the type of triangle being used. To produce a parallelogram, we can join a triangle and its copy along any of the three sides, so the same pair of triangles can make different parallelograms.
Q. What do parallelograms and triangles have in common?
They all have the properties of a parallelogram: Their opposite sides are parallel, their diagonals bisect each other and divide the parallelogram into two congruent triangles, and opposite sides and angles are congruent.
Q. Are triangles Quadrilaterals?
A triangle is a simple closed curve or polygon which is created by three line-segments. On the other hand, in terms of Euclidean plane geometry, a polygon having four edges (or sides) together with four vertices is called a quadrilateral.
Q. Are triangles and quadrilaterals closed plane figures?
Triangles: A polygon is a closed figure on a plane bounded by (straight) line segments as its sides. A polygon with four sides is a quadrilateral.
