Review the classification of quadrilaterals.

Parallelogram

Practice makes perfect

Let's review the classification of quadrilaterals.

Name and Definition	Properties
Parallelogram Both pairs of opposite sides are parallel	Opposite sides are congruent. Consecutive angles are supplementary. Opposite angles are congruent. Diagonals bisect each other.
Rhombus Parallelogram with four congruent sides	Diagonals are perpendicular. Each diagonal bisects a pair of opposite angles.
Rectangle Parallelogram with four right angles	Diagonals are congruent.
Isosceles trapezoid Trapezoid with legs that are congruent	Diagonals are congruent.
Kite Quadrilateral with two pairs of consecutive sides congruent and no congruent opposite sides	Diagonals are perpendicular.

Now let's take a look at the given figure.

In the given quadrilateral, both pairs of opposite sides are parallel. Therefore, the most specific classification of the figure is a parallelogram.
