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. The three-dimensional counterpart of a parallelogram is a parallelepiped.
The etymology (in Greek παραλληλ-όγραμμον, a shape "of parallel lines") reflects the definition.
A simple (non self-intersecting) quadrilateral is a parallelogram if and only if any one of the following statements is true:12
Two pairs of opposite sides are equal in length.
Two pairs of opposite angles are equal in measure.
The diagonals bisect each other.
One pair of opposite sides are parallel and equal in length.
Adjacent angles are supplementary.
Each diagonal divides the quadrilateral into two congruent triangles.
The sum of the squares of the sides equals the sum of the squares of the diagonals. (This is the parallelogram law.)
It has rotational symmetry of order 2.

What are you studying Jane?
Oh, I am studying quadrilaterals, specifically I am on Chapter 5 proving a quadrilateral is a Parallelogram, Claire.

Get the playing with pearl mug.A dot-shaped nub enveloped in the pearl canopy for protection against abrasion or overstimulation. Located aloft the flesh lettuce and at the crest of the clam, the clitoris is extremely sensitive and is the primary means for a woman to achieve her squirt (although vaginal orgasms are also possible for some women). When the human female achieves a 'chubby'...or a "Fubby"... the clitoris fills with blood and the many condensed nerve endings become even more sensitive, whereby enough stimulation of the clitoris can result in a female orgasm, which releases the pressure by means of .08 second apart contractions throughout the vulva. aka a giant squirt, resulting in the inevitable snail trail douching.

Get the Jake Peralta mug.A man from Lawrenceville, Georgia, who loves to partake in eating shit and drinking piss. He also goes by many other aliases, including "Tom Demented Sissy Pervert Pearl", "Tom the Toilet Mouth", and "Tom the Sissy Boy". Although he has not been active in recent months, one can find most of his videos on HeavyR, EPorner and ScatXTube. His reasoning for eating shit is that when he was young his family was very poor, so he was forced to eat his shit and drink his piss. Pearl has expressed he finds it very arousing that there are people out there watching him partake in the devious acts he goes through, which is his main reasoning behind doing it.
Person 1: Hey, did you watch Tom Pearl Brushes his Teeth with Shit last night?
Person 2: Yeah, sucks he didn't finish the whole turd though. Although, I think I still prefer Tom Pearl Eats a Footlong Piece of Shit
