Is the quadrilateral a parallelogram?

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.
