Abstract

A parallelogram may appear to be a very simple and basic shape of plane geometry, but its simplicity is deceptive; indeed, it possesses a lot of richness of structure. Much of this richness is revealed when we ask the following question: What characterizes a parallelogram? In other words: What minimal properties must a quadrilateral have for us to know that it is actually a parallelogram?
