Quick Question: If the opposite sides of a quadrilateral are parallel, does it mean they are the same length also?

OpenStudy (kropot72):

Are the parallel opposite sides of this quadrilateral the same length? |dw:1363989173215:dw|

OpenStudy (waheguru):

You are right but what if I was able to find out that both pairs of opposite sides were parallen

OpenStudy (waheguru):

Then would the length also have to be the same for the opposite sides ?

OpenStudy (kropot72):

Yes, because you now have a parallelogram, which is a subset of quadrilaterals.

Thanks!
