This example uses a parallelogram from Example 1 to demonstrate that opposite angles in a parallelogram are congruent and consecutive angles are supplementary. Key mathematical concepts include properties of parallelograms and angle relationships. GeoGebra commands such as Segment, Line, Polygon, Intersect, and Angle are used for geometric construction. Suitable for junior high school geometry.
