paralelogramo

In Euclidean geometry, a parallelogram is a simple (non-self-intersecting) quadrilateral with two pairs of parallel sides. The opposite or facing sides of a parallelogram are of equal length and the opposite angles of a parallelogram are of equal measure. The congruence of opposite sides and opposite angles is a direct consequence of the Euclidean parallel postulate and neither condition can be proven without appealing to the Euclidean parallel postulate or one of its equivalent formulations.

AI overview

A parallelogram is a four-sided shape where opposite sides are parallel to each other, which automatically makes those opposite sides equal in length and opposite angles equal in size. This shape is fundamental to Euclidean geometry because its defining properties depend directly on the parallel postulate, a cornerstone assumption of how geometry works in flat space.

Um paralelogramo é um polígono de quatro lados (quadrilátero) cujos lados opostos são paralelos. Por consequência, tem ângulos opostos e lados opostos congruentes.
