In a parallelogram, opposite sides are equal.
Square:
Diagonals of a square bisect each other at right angles and are equal, and vice-versa.
Triangle:
A line through the midpoint of a side of a triangle parallel to another side bisects the third side (Midpoint theorem).

Parallelogram Angle Bisectors:
In a parallelogram, the bisectors of any two consecutive angles intersect at a right angle.
If a diagonal of a parallelogram bisects one of the angles of a parallelogram, it also bisects the second angle.
