What to Remember

Quadrilateral sum

The interior angles of a quadrilateral sum to 360°.

Opposite angles

Opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal.

Consecutive angles

Consecutive angles of a parallelogram are supplementary.

Supplementary angles sum to 180°.

Rectangle and isosceles trapezoid

Every angle of a rectangle is 90°.

On an isosceles trapezoid, the two angles on the same base are equal. A consecutive angle along a leg is supplementary to that base angle.
