OpenStudy (nikato):

Is this all that was given?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@nikato Yes.

OpenStudy (nikato):

Can u say that it's none of them?

OpenStudy (nikato):

Becuz it can't b a square or rectangle becuz u don't know they r right angles

OpenStudy (nikato):

Even if u know one of the diagonals bisect 2 opposite angles, u dont kno for sure about the other diagonal

OpenStudy (nikato):

Also u don't know if all 4 sides are congruent

OpenStudy (anonymous):

True... Im not sure what to put. SHould i just put there isnt enough given information to conclude that it is a rectangle, a rhombus, or a square? @nikato

OpenStudy (nikato):

I think u can just put no

OpenStudy (nikato):

Becuz the question is just asking if u can conclude. And then u can explain

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay and @nikato FInd the values of x and y for which ABCD must be a parallelogram

OpenStudy (nikato):

Which angles are they'd for?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you just find x and y @nikato

OpenStudy (nikato):

I know. But I would like to know which 4 angles those expression are for

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmm im guessing ABCD @nikato

OpenStudy (nikato):

So like all 4 angles in the middle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@nikato on the outside

2x-2=x+2 and 5y-8=y+24

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2x-2=x+2 x=4 5y-8=y+24 4y=32 y=8
