standard_description: Use a pair of perpendicular number lines, called axes, to define a coordinate system, with the intersection of the lines (the origin) arranged to coincide with the 0 on each line and a given point in the plane located by using an ordered pair of numbers, called its coordinates. Understand that the first number indicates how far to travel from the origin in the direction of one axis, and the second number indicates how far to travel in the direction of the second axis, with the convention that the names of the two axes and the coordinates correspond (e.g., x-axis and x-coordinate, y-axis and y-coordinate).

Rhianna has learned the SSS  and SAS congruence tests for triangles and she wonders if these tests might work for parallelograms.
Suppose $ABCD$ and $EFGH$ are two parallelograms all of whose corresponding sides are congruent, that is $|AB| = |EF|, |BC| = |FG|, |CD| = |GH|,$ and $|DA| = |HE|$.  Is it always true that $ABCD$ is congruent to $EFGH$?
Suppose $ABCD$ and $EFGH$ are two parallelograms with a pair of congruent corresponding sides, $|AB| = |EF|$ and $|BC| = |FG|$.  Suppose also that the included angles are congruent,
$m(\angle ABC) = m(\angle EFG)$.  Are $ABCD$ and $EFGH$ congruent?
