2. In a parallelogram, opposite sides and angle are equal.

3. If each pair of opposite sides of quadrilateral is equal, then it is a parallelogram.

4. If in a quadrilateral, each pair of opposite angles is equal, then it is a parallelogram.

5. The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.

6. If the diagonals of a quadrilateral bisect each other, then it is a parallelogram.
