Suppose that A, B, C, D and A′, B′, C′, D′ (in those orders) form the vertices of convex quadrilaterals. We shall say that the convex quadrilaterals ABCD and A′B′C′D′ are classically congruent if the lengths of the corresponding sides and the measures of the corresponding angles are equal. Show that two parallelograms are classically congruent if |AB| = | A′B′|, | ∠ABC| = | ∠ A′B′C′| and |BC| = |B′C′|.
