Is the quadrilateral a parallelogram?

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
