Which of these conditions does not guarantee that a quadrilateral is a parallelogram?
None of the conditions on the list that accompanies the question guarantees that a quadrilateral is a parallelogram. But then, none of them prevents it either.
True or false the diagonals of a quadrilateral must bisect each other and be perpendicular to guarantee that the quadrilateral is a parallelogram?
False. Bisecting diagonals is sufficient to guarantee a parallelogram, but the diagonals will only be perpendicular if the sides of the parallelogram are equal.
The diagonals of a quadrilateral must bisect each other and be perpendicular to guarantee that the quadrilateral is a parallelogram?
False
Why is a parallelogram always a quadrilateral but a quadrilateral is only sometimes a parallelogram?
A parallelogram must have 4 sides and so it must be a quadrilateral. However, the sides of a quadrilateral need not be parallel so a quadrilateral need not be a parallelogram.
