Answer:
The correct answer is: [C]:
________________________________________________
" {The figure is a kite. To be a parallelogram, it would have to have pairs of <em>opposite</em> congruent sides, not just congruent sides. } ."
________________________________________________
Step-by-step explanation:
________________________________________________
Note that "all" squares are "parallelograms" ; and that "all" rectangles are
"parallelograms" ;
yet: "Not All parallelograms" are "squares" or "rectangles".
________________________________________________
The question asks:
________________________________________________
"Quadrilateral QRST has two pairs of congruent sides, but it is not a parallelogram.
What figure is it?
What further condition would have to satisfy to be a parallelogram? " .
________________________________________________
So; we can rule out:
________________________________________________
"Answer choices:
[A]: "The figure is a square..." ;
________________________________________________
[B]: "The figure is a rectangle..." ; <em><u>AND</u></em> :
________________________________________________
[D]: "The figure is a square..." .
________________________________________________
We are left with:
________________________________________________
Answer choice: [C]:
________________________________________________
" { The figure is a kite. To be a parallelogram, it would have to have pairs of <em>opposite</em> congruent sides, not just congruent sides. } " .
