Is the Figure a Parallelogram? No
Explanation: See solution.
Let's analyze the given quadrilateral.
Looking at the marks in the diagram, we notice that only one pair of opposite sides is congruent and only one pair of opposite sides that is parallel. Remember that for it to be a parallelogram, a pair of opposite sides must be congruent and parallel. Therefore, it is not a parallelogram. This quadrilateral could be an isosceles trapezoid, since its legs are congruent.
