No, you need both pairs of opposite sides to be congruent (i.e. the same size) to be a parallelogram.
Only a parallelogram. You can technically say a square does as well, although all sides are congruent in a square (compared to the parallelogram with two sets of opposite sides congruent).
No, it doesn't have to be. A quadrilateral can definitely be a parallelogram only if: - Both pairs of opposite sides are parallel. - Both pairs of opposite sides are congruent. - One pair of opposite sides are both congruent and parallel. - Both pairs of opposite angles are congruent. - The diagonals bisect each other.
A rhombus is a quadrilateral that has four congruent sides. It makes a parallelogram. Not all parallelograms have 4 congruent sides. Some have two pairs of opposite sides congruent.
Yes, if both pairs of opposite sides of a quadrilateral are congruent, then the quadrilateral is indeed a parallelogram. This is one of the properties that define parallelograms: if a quadrilateral has two pairs of sides that are equal in length, it ensures that the opposite sides are parallel. Thus, the statement is true based on the properties of quadrilaterals.
It is a rhombus or a parallelogram
If a quadrilateral has two pairs of opposite congruent sides, then the quadrilateral is a parallelogram.
A quadrilateral with both pairs of opposite sides congruent is a parallelogram.
Theorem A: A quadrilateral is a parallelogram if its opposite sides are congruent. Theorem B: A quadrilateral is a parallelogram if a pair of opposite sides is parallel and congruent. Theorem C: A quadrilateral is a parallelogram if its diagonals bisect each other. Theorem D: A quadrilateral is a parallelogram if both pairs of opposite angles are congruent.
Then, the opposite sides are congruent.
The Opposite Sides Parallel and Congruent Theorem states that if a quadrilateral has a pair of opposite sides that are parallel and congruent, then the quadrilateral is a parallelogram.
always
No. The congruent sides need not be parallel.
A parallelogram has two pairs of congruent sides, and the opposite sides are congruent.
sometimes
Parallel
No, it is not.
Yes that is correct.
