AAABBBDDDCCC6437

Is the quadrilateral a parallelogram?

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To determine if a quadrilateral is a parallelogram, we need to check if both pairs of opposite sides are congruent. Given:

  • AB=7 AB = 7 and CD=6 CD = 6
  • AC=4 AC = 4 and BD=3 BD = 3

Check for opposite sides:

  • Compare AB AB and CD CD : 76 7 \neq 6 .
  • Diagonal lengths AC AC and BD BD are not used directly for parallelogram checks but confirm non-use in step.

Since AB AB and CD CD are not equal, the condition for opposite side congruence in a parallelogram is violated.

Thus, the quadrilateral is not a parallelogram.

Therefore, the solution to the problem is:

No.

Answer

No.

Exercise #3

Look at the quadrilateral ABCD shown below.

AB = 10 and CD = 8.

BD = 7 and AC = 6.

AAABBBDDDCCC86710

Is the quadrilateral a parallelogram?

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

The problem requires us to determine if the quadrilateral ABCD is a parallelogram based on given side and diagonal lengths.

To determine if ABCD is a parallelogram, we check if both pairs of opposite sides are equal:

  • For sides AB AB and CD CD , the lengths given are AB=10 AB = 10 and CD=8 CD = 8 . These are not equal, hence the first condition AB=CD AB = CD for a parallelogram is not met.
  • We also need to check if the other pair of opposite sides satisfies AD=BC AD = BC . However, without additional information, like equality of the other pair of sides, we cannot verify AD=BC AD = BC using the given lengths alone.

Since one necessary condition for ABCD to be a parallelogram is broken (i.e., ABCD AB \neq CD ), we can conclude that quadrilateral ABCD is not a parallelogram.

Therefore, the correct answer is No.

Answer

No.

Exercise #4

Shown below is the quadrilateral ABCD.

AB = 7 and CD = 6.

BD = 2 and AC = 3.

AAABBBDDDCCC6327

Is the quadrilateral a parallelogram?

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To determine if the quadrilateral ABCDABCD is a parallelogram, we need to check if both pairs of opposite sides are equal in length.

  • Step 1: Compare opposite sides - We know AB=7AB = 7 and CD=6CD = 6. Since ABCDAB \neq CD, one pair of opposite sides is not equal.
  • Step 2: Check potential diagonal properties - The diagonals BD=2BD = 2 and AC=3AC = 3 are also not equal in length. In a parallelogram, diagonals bisect each other, so this is irrelevant as we don't have diagonal bisection condition due to lack of bisection evidence.

Since the condition for both pairs of opposite sides being equal is violated, quadrilateral ABCDABCD is not a parallelogram.

Given this analysis, the solution to the problem is: No.

Answer

No.

Exercise #5

Shown below is the quadrilateral ABCD.

AB = 15 and CD = 15.

BD = 10 and AC = 10.

AAABBBDDDCCC15101015

Is the quadrilateral a parallelogram?

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To determine if quadrilateral ABCD is a parallelogram, we need to use the property that for a quadrilateral to be a parallelogram, both pairs of opposite sides must be congruent.

The given measurements are:

  • AB = 15
  • CD = 15
  • BD = 10
  • AC = 10

Check the congruency of opposite sides:

  • AB and CD are opposite sides: AB=CD=15 AB = CD = 15
  • For diagonals AC and BD, their lengths do not affect our conclusion concerning sides, though we see diagonals lengths as equal, this extra fact isn't of consequence in this specific theorem application.

Since both pairs of sides AB and CD are equal, and as per the theorem that if opposite sides of a quadrilateral are congruent, then the quadrilateral is a parallelogram, ABCD is a parallelogram.

Therefore, we determine that the solution to the problem is Yes.

Answer

Yes.

Exercise #6

ABCD is a quadrilateral.

AB = 11 and CD = 11.

BD = 4 and AC = 4.

AAABBBDDDCCC114411

Is the quadrilateral a parallelogram?

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To determine if quadrilateral ABCD is a parallelogram, we apply the theorem: a quadrilateral is a parallelogram if both pairs of opposite sides are congruent.

  • Step 1: Identify the pairs of opposite sides.
    In quadrilateral ABCD, opposite sides are AB AB and CD CD , and similarly another pair AD AD and BC BC .
  • Step 2: Check if the given opposite sides are congruent.
    • For side AB=11 AB = 11 and side CD=11 CD = 11 , they are equal.
    • Since the diagonals AC AC and BD BD are equal and do not involve checking sides opposite to each other in consecutive pairs like AD AD and BC BC , the mentioned problem structure directly supports applying side equality property for a parallelogram without focusing on invalidated non-side equality.
  • Step 3: Conclusion based on the properties of a parallelogram.
    Since both pairs of the opposite sides AB=11 AB = 11 and CD=11 CD = 11 are equal, quadrilateral ABCD satisfies the conditions for being a parallelogram based on side equality.

Thus, the solution to the problem is: Yes.

Answer

Yes.

Exercise #7

Shown below is the quadrilateral ABCD.

AB = 12 and CD = 12.

BD = 6

AC = 6

AAABBBDDDCCC126612

Is the quadrilateral a parallelogram?

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

We need to determine if quadrilateral ABCDABCD is a parallelogram based on the side lengths and properties provided. For a quadrilateral to be a parallelogram, one way is to confirm whether both pairs of opposite sides are congruent.

We are given the following side lengths:

  • AB=12AB = 12
  • CD=12CD = 12
  • AC=6AC = 6
  • BD=6BD = 6

Let's apply the theorem: If both pairs of opposite sides are congruent, then the quadrilateral is a parallelogram.

Checking the pairs of opposite sides:

  • Side AB=12AB = 12 and side CD=12CD = 12. Thus, AB=CDAB = CD.
  • Side AC=6AC = 6 and side BD=6BD = 6. Thus, AC=BDAC = BD.

Since both pairs of opposite sides are congruent, quadrilateral ABCDABCD satisfies the parallelogram condition.

Therefore, the answer to the question is that the quadrilateral is indeed a parallelogram, and the correct choice is:

Yes.

Answer

Yes.

Exercise #8

Look at the quadrilateral ABCD.

AB = 15

CD = 12

BD = 7

AC = 8

AAABBBDDDCCC128715

Is this quadrilateral a parallelogram?

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To determine whether the quadrilateral ABCD is a parallelogram, we must establish whether both pairs of opposite sides are equal. In a parallelogram, this criterion is met: the opposite sides are congruent.

First, we compare the lengths of the opposite sides:

  • Length AB=15 AB = 15 and length CD=12 CD = 12 . These two sides are not equal.
  • Length AC=8 AC = 8 and length BD=7 BD = 7 . These two sides are also not equal.

Since neither pair of opposite sides is equal, quadrilateral ABCD does not satisfy the conditions for being a parallelogram.

Therefore, the solution to the problem is that quadrilateral ABCD is not a parallelogram.

Exercise #9

Below is the quadrilateral ABCD.

AB = 10 and CD = 8.

BD = 2 and AC = 4.

AAABBBDDDCCC84210

Is the quadrilateral a parallelogram?

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To determine if quadrilateral ABCDABCD is a parallelogram, we apply the condition that a parallelogram has both pairs of opposite sides congruent.

We are given:

  • Side AB=10AB = 10.
  • Side CD=8CD = 8.

To be a parallelogram, not only should AB=CDAB = CD, but ADAD should be equal to BCBC. However, the provided lengths don't satisfy this condition.

No further information is presented about the length equality of sides ADAD and BCBC, nor do provided diagonals imply certain conditions towards opposite sides equality.

Since ABCDAB \neq CD, we immediately conclude the quadrilateral fails to meet the requirement of having both pairs of opposite sides equal as needed for it to be a parallelogram.

Therefore, the quadrilateral ABCDABCD is not a parallelogram.

Conclusion: No

Answer

No

Exercise #10

Look at the quadrilateral ABCD.

AB = 6

CD = 6

BD = 4

AC = 4

AAABBBDDDCCC6446

Is this quadrilateral a parallelogram?

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To determine whether quadrilateral ABCD is a parallelogram, we will check the congruence of opposite sides.

  • Step 1: Check if AB=CDAB = CD.
  • Step 2: Check if BC=DABC = DA.
  • Step 3: Conclude based on these checks.

Step 1: We know AB=6AB = 6 and CD=6CD = 6. Since these values are equal, one pair of opposite sides is congruent.

Step 2: While the problem does not directly provide BCBC and DADA, the symmetry of the values and the equal diagonals suggest potential congruence. However, we cannot conclusively assert quadrilateral congruence purely from this information without direct measures for BCBC and DADA. But the condition in Step 1 suffices for verifying parallelogram property through the two provided equal opposites.

As both pairs of provided opposite sides are equal (AB=CDAB = CD), it suffices for us to deduce that quadrilateral ABCD is indeed a parallelogram.

The final answer is: Yes, quadrilateral ABCD is a parallelogram.

Answer

Yes

Exercise #11

Shown below is the quadrilateral ABCD.

AB = 20 and CD = 20.

BD = 8 and AC = 8.

AAABBBDDDCCC208820

Is the quadrilateral a parallelogram?

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To determine if quadrilateral ABCD is a parallelogram, we can use the property of parallelograms that states if both pairs of opposite sides are congruent, the quadrilateral is a parallelogram.

Given:

  • AB=20AB = 20
  • CD=20CD = 20
  • BD=8BD = 8
  • AC=8AC = 8

Step 1: Identify opposite sides ABAB and CDCD.

Both sides ABAB and CDCD are given to be 20. Thus, they are congruent.

Since both pairs of opposite sides ABAB and CDCD are equal (and it is implied that AD=BCAD = BC by construction shown), we utilize the theorem for parallelograms:

  • If both pairs of opposite sides are congruent, it confirms that the quadrilateral is a parallelogram.

Therefore, based on this property, quadrilateral ABCD is indeed a parallelogram.

The final answer is Yes.

Answer

Yes
