There are 5 ways to prove a Quadrilateral is a Parallelogram. -Prove both pairs of opposite sides congruent -Prove both pairs of opposite sides parallel -Prove one pair of opposite sides both congruent and parallel -Prove both pairs of opposite angles are congruent -Prove that the diagonals bisect each other
If two opposite sides are congruent in length and direction then they are parallel sides. THat would mean the other two sides are congruent making 4 parallel sides or a parallelogram
* both pairs of opposite sides are parallel * both pairs of opposite sides are congruent * all angles are 90 degrees * both pairs of opposite angles are congruent * the diagonals bisect each other.
You're fishing for "a square", but the way you've described it, no such animal exists. You said "all sides and angles congruent", and that's not possible. The sides are congruent to each other, and the angles are congruent to each other, but no side is congruent to any angle.
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.

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.
This quadrilateral is a trapezoid. In a trapezoid, one pair of opposite sides is parallel, and one pair of opposite sides is congruent. The other two sides are not parallel or congruent.

It cannot be a quadrilateral because if one pair of opposite sides are congruent and parallel, it is a parallelogram and so the other two sides are also (mutually) congruent and parallel. Any polygon with 5 or more sides will have an irregular form which satisfies these conditions.
* both pairs of opposite sides are parallel * both pairs of opposite sides are congruent * both pairs of opposite angles are congruent * one pair of opposite sides are parallel and congruent * both diagonals bisect each other * all consecutive angle pairs are supplementary
If both pairs of opposite sides are parallel: A Rectangle, or a Square. If exactly one pair of opposite sides are parallel: An Isosceles Trapezoid. If it does not have parallel sides and one diagonal is the perpendicular bisector of the other: A Kite It is also possible that it does not have any parallel sides and neither diagonal is the perpendicular bisector of the other: A quadrilateral
All 4 sides are congruent and opposite sides are parallel to each other.
Answer: A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with both pairs of opposite sides parallel. If a quadrilateral is a parallelogram, the 2 pairs of opposite sides are congruent. If a quadrilateral is a parallelogram, the 2 pairs of opposite angles are congruent. Answer: No. On the other hand, all parallelograms are quadrilaterals.
draw a diagonal through opposite corners of the quadrilateral. This makes two triangles. Prove the triangles are congruent using SSA (side side angle) congruence. Then show that the other two sides of the quadrilater must be congruent to each other, so it is a parallelogram.
