| Interior Angles of a Quadrilateral Corollary | The sum of the measures of the interior angles of a quadrilateral is 360 |
| Polygon Exterior Angles Theorem | The sum of the measures of the exterior angles of a convex polygon, one angle at each vertex, is 360. |
| Parallelogram | a quadrilateral with both pairs of opposite sides parallel. |
| Theorem 8.3 | if a quadrilateral is a parallelogram then its opposite sides are congruent |
| Theorem 8.4 | if a quadrilateral is a parallelogram then its opposite angles are congruent |
| Theorem 8.5 | if a quadrilateral is a parallelogram then its consecutive angles are supplementary |
| Theorem 8.6 | if a quadrilateral is a parallelogram then its diagonals bisect each other |
| Theorem 8.7 | if both pairs of opposite sides of a quadrilateral are congruent then the quadrilateral is a parallelogram |
| Theorem 8.8 | if both pairs of opposite angles of a quadrilateral are congruent then the quadrilateral is a parallelogram |
| Theorem 8.9 | if one pair of opposite sides of a quadrilateral are congruent and parallel then the quadrilateral is a parallelogram |
