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.
False. Bisecting diagonals is sufficient to guarantee a parallelogram, but the diagonals will only be perpendicular if the sides of the parallelogram are equal.
False
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.
A quadrilateral is a polygon with four sides. A parallelogram is a quadrilateral in which the opposite sides are parallel.
