HELP DUE IN 15 MINS!

Determine if the figure is a parallelogram. Justify your answer by picking the property that verifies it is a parallelogram or the one the property that it fails to meet the criteria for.

1. Is the figure a parallelogram? Yes or NO??

2. Why?? A. Both Diagonals Bisect Each Other, B. One set of Opposite Sides are parallel and congruent, C. Both sets of opposite sides are parallel, D. Both sets of opposite sides are congruent, E. Both Pairs of opposite angles are congruent.

Answer 1

B and D both lead to failure. I have no idea how to pick which one is right. I guess D but don't be surprised if it is B. The question tries to do too much.

D

Explanation:

No.

You need one more fact.

You can't pick A. Angles are not noted.

B: there is no mention of parallel sides. This is why the proposition fails to give a parallelogram.

C: you haven't got both sides being parallel. You haven't even got one set of opposite sides being parallel

D: This is probably another alternative. You don't know anything about 1 set of opposite sides.

E: No angles are marked.
