Extract

This article, like our previous one [1], combines known and new characterisations of parallelograms. Both can be thought of as additions to Martin Josefsson’s series on ‘characterisations of’ and ‘properties of’ various types of quadrilaterals – a series that does not include parallelograms. Josefsson’s publications can be found listed in [2], [3] and [4]. For the importance of characterisations in geometry, see [5].
