Is the quadrilateral a parallelogram?

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.
