Duration of the study : 3 months: January-March 2016

    1. From the history of the parallelogram

In a geometry textbook we read the following definition of a parallelogram: A parallelogram is a quadrilateral whose opposite sides are parallel in pairs.

The word "parallelogram" is translated as "parallel lines" (from Greek words Parallelos - parallel and gramme - line), this term was introduced by Euclid. In his book Elements, Euclid proved the following properties of a parallelogram: opposite sides and angles of a parallelogram are equal, and the diagonal bisects it. Euclid does not mention the point of intersection of a parallelogram. Only towards the end of the Middle Ages was a complete theory of parallelograms developed. And only in the 17th century did theorems about parallelograms appear in textbooks, which are proven using Euclid’s theorem on the properties of a parallelogram.

III Additional properties of a parallelogram

In the geometry textbook, only 2 properties of a parallelogram are given:

    Opposite angles and sides are equal

    The diagonals of a parallelogram intersect and are bisected by the intersection point.

In various sources on geometry you can find the following additional properties:

    The sum of adjacent angles of a parallelogram is 180 0

    The bisector of the angle of a parallelogram cuts off from it isosceles triangle;

    The bisectors of opposite angles of a parallelogram lie on parallel lines;

    The bisectors of adjacent angles of a parallelogram intersect at right angles;

    When the bisectors of all angles of a parallelogram intersect, they form a rectangle;

    The distances from opposite corners of a parallelogram to the same diagonal are equal.

    If in a parallelogram we connect opposite vertices with their midpoints opposite sides, then you get another parallelogram.

    The sum of the squares of the diagonals of a parallelogram is equal to twice the sum of the squares of its adjacent sides.

    If you draw altitudes from two opposite angles in a parallelogram, you get a rectangle.

IV Proof of the properties of a parallelogram

    The sum of adjacent angles of a parallelogram is 180 0

3) 3=1 (crosswise lying angles at

BC ║ AD and AK-secant),

4) A =C (by the property of a parallelogram), which means 2=3=4=5.

4) From paragraphs 3 and 4 it follows that 1 = 4, and these angles are corresponding to straight lines AK and CP and secant BC,

this means AK ║ CP (based on the parallelism of lines)

. Bisectors of opposite angles of a parallelogram lie on parallel lines

    Bisectors of adjacent angles of a parallelogram intersect at right angles

Let 1=2=x, then A=2x,

2) 3=4, because D Р – bisector

Let 3=4=y, then D=2y

3) A + D =180 0, because the sum of adjacent angles of a parallelogram is 180

2) Consider A OD

1+3=90 0 , then
<5=90 0 (сумма углов треугольников равна 180 0)

5. The bisectors of all angles of a parallelogram when intersecting form a rectangle

2) AKB= CDР (along the side and two adjacent angles AB=CD CD P=AB K).

And in equal triangles the corresponding sides are equal, which means DP=BK.

    If you connect opposite vertices in a parallelogram with the midpoints of opposite sides, you get another parallelogram.

Given: ABCD parallelogram.

Prove: VKDR is a parallelogram.

Proof:

1) BP=KD (AD=BC, points K and P

divide these sides in half)

2) BP ║ KD (lie on AD BC)

If the opposite sides of a quadrilateral are equal and parallel, then the quadrilateral is a parallelogram.


    If you draw altitudes from two opposite angles in a parallelogram, you get a rectangle.

    The sum of the squares of the diagonals of a parallelogram is equal to twice the sum of the squares of its adjacent sides.

8) A TO=AD+ X, RD=AD- X,

AC²+BD ² =2CD 2 -2x 2 +(AD +x) 2 +(AD -X) 2 ,

AC²+ IND²=2 WITHD²-2 X² +AD 2 +2AD X+ X 2 +AD 2 -2AD X+ X 2 ,
AC²+ IND²=2CD 2 +2AD 2 =2(CD 2 +AD 2 ).

AB=BN = 3 D

And the sliding grille should be moved to the required distance in the doorway

Parallelogram mechanism- a four-bar mechanism, the links of which form a parallelogram. It is used to implement translational motion by hinged mechanisms.

Parallelogram with a fixed link- one link is motionless, the opposite one makes a rocking motion, remaining parallel to the motionless one. Two parallelograms connected one behind the other give the end link two degrees of freedom, leaving it parallel to the stationary link.

Examples: bus windshield wipers, forklifts, tripods, hangers, car suspensions.

Parallelogram with fixed joint- the property of a parallelogram to maintain a constant ratio of distances between three points is used. Example: drawing pantograph - a device for scaling drawings.

Rhombus- all links are the same length, the approach (contraction) of a pair of opposite hinges leads to the moving apart of the other two hinges. All links work in compression.

Examples - automobile diamond-shaped jack, tram pantograph.

Scissor or X-shaped mechanism, also known as Nuremberg scissors- rhombus version - two links connected in the middle by a hinge. The advantages of the mechanism are compactness and simplicity, the disadvantage is the presence of two sliding pairs. Two (or more) such mechanisms connected in series form a diamond(s) in the middle. Used in lifts and children's toys.

A parallelogram is a quadrilateral whose opposite sides are parallel in pairs. The following figure shows parallelogram ABCD. It has side AB parallel to side CD and side BC parallel to side AD.

As you may have guessed, a parallelogram is a convex quadrilateral. Let's consider the basic properties of a parallelogram.

Properties of a parallelogram

1. In a parallelogram, opposite angles and opposite sides are equal. Let's prove this property - consider the parallelogram presented in the following figure.

Diagonal BD divides it into two equal triangles: ABD and CBD. They are equal along the side BD and the two angles adjacent to it, since the angles lying crosswise at the secant BD of parallel lines BC and AD and AB and CD, respectively. Therefore AB = CD and
BC = AD. And from the equality of angles 1, 2, 3 and 4 it follows that angle A = angle1 + angle3 = angle2 + angle4 = angle C.

2. The diagonals of a parallelogram are divided in half by the point of intersection. Let point O be the intersection point of diagonals AC and BD of parallelogram ABCD.

Then triangle AOB and triangle COD are equal to each other, along the side and two adjacent angles. (AB = CD since these are opposite sides of the parallelogram. And angle1 = angle2 and angle3 = angle4 are like crosswise angles when the lines AB and CD intersect with the secants AC and BD, respectively.) From this it follows that AO = OC and OB = OD, which and needed to be proven.

All main properties are illustrated in the following three figures.

Sign-ki pa-ral-le-lo-gram-ma

1. Definition and basic properties of a parallelogram

Let's start by recalling the definition of para-ral-le-lo-gram.

Definition. Parallelogram- what-you-re-gon-nick, which has every two pro-ti-false sides that are parallel (see Fig. . 1).

Rice. 1. Pa-ral-le-lo-gram

Let's remember basic properties of pa-ral-le-lo-gram-ma:

In order to be able to use all these properties, you need to be sure that the fi-gu-ra, about someone -roy we are talking about, - par-ral-le-lo-gram. To do this, it is necessary to know such facts as signs of pa-ral-le-lo-gram-ma. We are looking at the first two of them now.

2. The first sign of a parallelogram

Theorem. The first sign of pa-ral-le-lo-gram-ma. If in a four-coal the two opposite sides are equal and parallel, then this four-coal nickname - parallelogram. .

Rice. 2. The first sign of pa-ral-le-lo-gram-ma

Proof. Let's put the dia-go-nal in the four-reh-coal-ni-ka (see Fig. 2), she split it into two tri-coal-ni-ka. Let's write down what we know about these triangles:

according to the first sign of the equality of triangles.

From the equality of the indicated triangles it follows that, by the sign of the parallelism of straight lines when crossing, ch-nii their s-ku-shchi. We have that:

Do-ka-za-but.

3. Second sign of a parallelogram

Theorem. The second sign is pa-ral-le-lo-gram-ma. If in a four-corner every two pro-ti-false sides are equal, then this four-corner is parallelogram. .

Rice. 3. The second sign of pa-ral-le-lo-gram-ma

Proof. We put the dia-go-nal into the four-corner (see Fig. 3), she splits it into two triangles. Let's write down what we know about these triangles, based on the theory's form:

according to the third sign of the equality of triangles.

From the equality of triangles it follows that, by the sign of parallel lines, when intersecting them s-ku-shchey. Let's eat:

par-ral-le-lo-gram by definition. Q.E.D.

Do-ka-za-but.

4. An example of using the first parallelogram feature

Let's look at an example of the use of signs of pa-ral-le-lo-gram.

Example 1. In the bulge there are no coals Find: a) the corners of the coals; b) hundred-ro-well.

Solution. Illustration Fig. 4.

pa-ral-le-lo-gram according to the first sign of pa-ral-le-lo-gram-ma.

A. by the property of a par-ral-le-lo-gram about pro-ti-false angles, by the property of a par-ral-le-lo-gram about the sum of angles, when lying to one side.

B. by the nature of equality of pro-false sides.

re-tiy sign pa-ral-le-lo-gram-ma

5. Review: Definition and Properties of a Parallelogram

Let's remember that parallelogram- this is a four-square-corner, which has pro-ti-false sides in pairs. That is, if - par-ral-le-lo-gram, then (see Fig. 1).

The parallel-le-lo-gram has a number of properties: the opposite angles are equal (), the opposite angles -we are equal ( ). In addition, the dia-go-na-li pa-ral-le-lo-gram-ma at the point of re-se-che-niya is divided according to the sum of the angles, at-le- pressing towards any side pa-ral-le-lo-gram-ma, equal, etc.

But in order to take advantage of all these properties, it is necessary to be absolutely sure that the ri-va-e-my th-you-rekh-coal-nick - pa-ral-le-lo-gram. For this purpose, there are signs of par-ral-le-lo-gram: that is, those facts from which one can draw a single-valued conclusion , that what-you-rekh-coal-nick is a par-ral-le-lo-gram-mom. In the previous lesson, we already looked at two signs. Now we're looking at the third time.

6. The third sign of a parallelogram and its proof

If in a four-coal there is a dia-go-on at the point of re-se-che-niya they do-by-lams, then the given four-you Roh-coal-nick is a pa-ral-le-lo-gram-mom.

Given:

What-you-re-coal-nick; ; .

Prove:

Parallelogram.

Proof:

In order to prove this fact, it is necessary to show the parallelism of the parties to the par-le-lo-gram. And the parallelism of straight lines is most often achieved through the equality of internal cross-lying angles at these right angles. Thus, here is the next method to obtain the third sign of par-ral -le-lo-gram-ma: through the equality of triangles .

Let's see how these triangles are equal. Indeed, from the condition it follows: . In addition, since the angles are vertical, they are equal. That is:

(first sign of equalitytri-coal-ni-cov- along two sides and the corner between them).

From the equality of triangles: (since the internal cross-lying angles at these straight lines and cross-sections are equal). In addition, from the equality of triangles it follows that . This means that we understand that in four-coal two hundred are equal and parallel. According to the first sign, pa-ral-le-lo-gram-ma: - pa-ral-le-lo-gram.

Do-ka-za-but.

7. Example of a problem on the third sign of a parallelogram and generalization

Let's look at the example of using the third sign of pa-ral-le-lo-gram.

Example 1

Given:

- parallelogram; . - se-re-di-na, - se-re-di-na, - se-re-di-na, - se-re-di-na (see Fig. 2).

Prove:- pa-ral-le-lo-gram.

Proof:

This means that in the four-coal-no-dia-go-on-whether at the point of re-se-che-niya they do-by-lam. By the third sign of pa-ral-le-lo-gram, it follows from this that - pa-ral-le-lo-gram.

Do-ka-za-but.

If you analyze the third sign of pa-ral-le-lo-gram, then you can notice that this sign is with-vet- has the property of a par-ral-le-lo-gram. That is, the fact that the dia-go-na-li de-la-xia is not just a property of the par-le-lo-gram, and its distinctive, kha-rak-te-ri-sti-che-property, by which it can be distinguished from the set what-you-rekh-coal-ni-cov.

Introduction

“A major scientific discovery provides a solution to a major problem, but in the solution of any problem there is a grain of discovery.”

Property of opposite sides of a parallelogram

A parallelogram has opposite sides that are equal.

Proof.

Let ABCD be the given parallelogram. And let its diagonals intersect at point O.
Since Δ AOB = Δ COD by the first criterion of equality of triangles (∠ AOB = ∠ COD, as vertical ones, AO=OC, DO=OB, by the property of the diagonals of a parallelogram), then AB=CD. In the same way, from the equality of triangles BOC and DOA, it follows that BC = DA. The theorem has been proven.

Property of opposite angles of a parallelogram

In a parallelogram, opposite angles are equal.

Proof.

Let ABCD be the given parallelogram. And let its diagonals intersect at point O.
From what was proven in the theorem about the properties of the opposite sides of a parallelogram Δ ABC = Δ CDA on three sides (AB=CD, BC=DA from what was proven, AC – general). From the equality of triangles it follows that ∠ ABC = ∠ CDA.
It is also proved that ∠ DAB = ∠ BCD, which follows from ∠ ABD = ∠ CDB. The theorem has been proven.

Property of the diagonals of a parallelogram

The diagonals of a parallelogram intersect and are bisected at the point of intersection.

Proof.

Let ABCD be the given parallelogram. Let's draw the diagonal AC. Let's mark the middle O on it. On the continuation of the segment DO, we'll put aside the segment OB 1 equal to DO.
By the previous theorem, AB 1 CD is a parallelogram. Therefore, line AB 1 is parallel to DC. But through point A only one line parallel to DC can be drawn. This means that line AB 1 coincides with line AB.
It is also proved that BC 1 coincides with BC. This means that point C coincides with C 1. parallelogram ABCD coincides with parallelogram AB 1 CD. Consequently, the diagonals of the parallelogram intersect and are bisected at the point of intersection. The theorem has been proven.

In textbooks for regular schools (for example, in Pogorelovo) it is proven like this: diagonals divide a parallelogram into 4 triangles. Let's consider one pair and find out - they are equal: their bases are opposite sides, the corresponding angles adjacent to it are equal, like vertical angles with parallel lines. That is, the segments of the diagonals are equal in pairs. All.

Is that all?
It was proven above that the intersection point bisects the diagonals - if it exists. The above reasoning does not prove its very existence in any way. That is, part of the theorem “the diagonals of a parallelogram intersect” remains unproven.

The funny thing is that this part is much harder to prove. This follows, by the way, from a more general result: any convex quadrilateral will have diagonals intersecting, but any non-convex quadrilateral will not.

On the equality of triangles along a side and two adjacent angles (the second sign of equality of triangles) and others.

Thales found an important practical application to the theorem on the equality of two triangles along a side and two adjacent angles. A range finder was built in the harbor of Miletus to determine the distance to a ship at sea. It consisted of three driven pegs A, B and C (AB = BC) and a marked straight line SC, perpendicular to CA. When a ship appeared on the SK straight line, we found point D such that points D, .B and E were on the same straight line. As is clear from the drawing, the distance CD on the ground is the desired distance to the ship.

When solving problems on this topic, except basic properties parallelogram and the corresponding formulas, you can remember and apply the following:

  1. The bisector of an interior angle of a parallelogram cuts off an isosceles triangle from it
  2. Bisectors internal corners adjacent to one of the sides of a parallelogram mutually perpendicular
  3. Bisectors coming from opposite interior corners of a parallelogram are parallel to each other or lie on the same straight line
  4. The sum of the squares of the diagonals of a parallelogram is equal to the sum of the squares of its sides
  5. The area of ​​a parallelogram is equal to half the product of the diagonals and the sine of the angle between them

Let us consider problems in which these properties are used.

Task 1.

The bisector of angle C of parallelogram ABCD intersects side AD at point M and the continuation of side AB beyond point A at point E. Find the perimeter of the parallelogram if AE = 4, DM = 3.

Solution.

1. Triangle CMD is isosceles. (Property 1). Therefore, CD = MD = 3 cm.

2. Triangle EAM is isosceles.
Therefore, AE = AM = 4 cm.

3. AD = AM + MD = 7 cm.

4. Perimeter ABCD = 20 cm.

Answer. 20 cm.

Task 2.

Diagonals are drawn in a convex quadrilateral ABCD. It is known that the areas of triangles ABD, ACD, BCD are equal. Prove that this quadrilateral is a parallelogram.

Solution.

1. Let BE be the height of triangle ABD, CF be the height of triangle ACD. Since, according to the conditions of the problem, the areas of the triangles are equal and they have a common base AD, then the heights of these triangles are equal. BE = CF.

2. BE, CF are perpendicular to AD. Points B and C are located on the same side relative to straight line AD. BE = CF. Therefore, straight line BC || A.D. (*)

3. Let AL be the height of triangle ACD, BK be the height of triangle BCD. Since, according to the conditions of the problem, the areas of the triangles are equal and they have a common base CD, then the heights of these triangles are equal. AL = BK.

4. AL and BK are perpendicular to CD. Points B and A are located on the same side relative to straight line CD. AL = BK. Therefore, straight line AB || CD (**)

5. From conditions (*), (**) it follows that ABCD is a parallelogram.

Answer. Proven. ABCD is a parallelogram.

Task 3.

On sides BC and CD of the parallelogram ABCD, points M and H are marked, respectively, so that the segments BM and HD intersect at point O;<ВМD = 95 о,

Solution.

1. In triangle DOM<МОD = 25 о (Он смежный с <ВОD = 155 о); <ОМD = 95 о. Тогда <ОDМ = 60 о.

2. In a right triangle DHC
(

Then<НСD = 30 о. СD: НD = 2: 1
(Since in a right triangle the leg that lies opposite the angle of 30° is equal to half the hypotenuse).

Task 4.

One of the diagonals of a parallelogram with a length of 4√6 makes an angle of 60° with the base, and the second diagonal makes an angle of 45° with the same base. Find the second diagonal.

Solution.

1. AO = 2√6.

2. We apply the sine theorem to triangle AOD.

AO/sin D = OD/sin A.

2√6/sin 45 o = OD/sin 60 o.

ОD = (2√6sin 60 о) / sin 45 о = (2√6 · √3/2) / (√2/2) = 2√18/√2 = 6.

Answer: 12.

Task 5.

For a parallelogram with sides 5√2 and 7√2, the smaller angle between the diagonals is equal to the smaller angle of the parallelogram. Find the sum of the lengths of the diagonals.

Solution.

Let d 1, d 2 be the diagonals of the parallelogram, and the angle between the diagonals and the smaller angle of the parallelogram is equal to φ.

1. Let's count two different
ways its area.

S ABCD = AB AD sin A = 5√2 7√2 sin f,

S ABCD = 1/2 AC ВD sin AOB = 1/2 d 1 d 2 sin f.

We obtain the equality 5√2 · 7√2 · sin f = 1/2d 1 d 2 sin f or

2 · 5√2 · 7√2 = d 1 d 2 ;

2. Using the relationship between the sides and diagonals of the parallelogram, we write the equality

(AB 2 + AD 2) 2 = AC 2 + BD 2.

((5√2) 2 + (7√2) 2) 2 = d 1 2 + d 2 2.

d 1 2 + d 2 2 = 296.

3. Let's create a system:

(d 1 2 + d 2 2 = 296,
(d 1 + d 2 = 140.

Let's multiply the second equation of the system by 2 and add it to the first.

We get (d 1 + d 2) 2 = 576. Hence Id 1 + d 2 I = 24.

Since d 1, d 2 are the lengths of the diagonals of the parallelogram, then d 1 + d 2 = 24.

Answer: 24.

Task 6.

The sides of the parallelogram are 4 and 6. The acute angle between the diagonals is 45 degrees. Find the area of ​​the parallelogram.

Solution.

1. From triangle AOB, using the cosine theorem, we write the relationship between the side of the parallelogram and the diagonals.

AB 2 = AO 2 + VO 2 2 · AO · VO · cos AOB.

4 2 = (d 1 /2) 2 + (d 2 /2) 2 – 2 · (d 1/2) · (d 2 /2)cos 45 o;

d 1 2 /4 + d 2 2 /4 – 2 · (d 1/2) · (d 2 /2)√2/2 = 16.

d 1 2 + d 2 2 – d 1 · d 2 √2 = 64.

2. Similarly, we write the relation for the triangle AOD.

Let's take into account that<АОD = 135 о и cos 135 о = -cos 45 о = -√2/2.

We get the equation d 1 2 + d 2 2 + d 1 · d 2 √2 = 144.

3. We have a system
(d 1 2 + d 2 2 – d 1 · d 2 √2 = 64,
(d 1 2 + d 2 2 + d 1 · d 2 √2 = 144.

Subtracting the first from the second equation, we get 2d 1 · d 2 √2 = 80 or

d 1 d 2 = 80/(2√2) = 20√2

4. S ABCD = 1/2 AC ВD sin AOB = 1/2 d 1 d 2 sin α = 1/2 20√2 √2/2 = 10.

Note: In this and the previous problem there is no need to solve the system completely, anticipating that in this problem we need the product of diagonals to calculate the area.

Answer: 10.

Task 7.

The area of ​​the parallelogram is 96 and its sides are 8 and 15. Find the square of the smaller diagonal.

Solution.

1. S ABCD = AB · AD · sin ВAD. Let's make a substitution in the formula.

We get 96 = 8 · 15 · sin ВAD. Hence sin ВAD = 4/5.

2. Let's find cos VAD. sin 2 VAD + cos 2 VAD = 1.

(4 / 5) 2 + cos 2 VAD = 1. cos 2 VAD = 9 / 25.

According to the conditions of the problem, we find the length of the smaller diagonal. The diagonal ВD will be smaller if the angle ВAD is acute. Then cos VAD = 3 / 5.

3. From the triangle ABD, using the cosine theorem, we find the square of the diagonal BD.

ВD 2 = АВ 2 + АD 2 – 2 · АВ · ВD · cos ВAD.

ВD 2 = 8 2 + 15 2 – 2 8 15 3 / 5 = 145.

Answer: 145.
