00:13 Our question is: Is the quadrilateral a parallelogram?
00:18 A parallelogram has two pairs of equal opposite sides.
00:22 Let's check the sides of our quadrilateral now.
00:26 Oh! The opposite sides aren't equal, so it's not a parallelogram.
00:30 And that's how we solve this problem!

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.
