A) 6 feet
B) 16 feet
C) 4 feet
D) 10 feet

Answer 1

The geometric properties of the parallelogram show that each to opposite side of a parallelogram are parallel and equal in length.
Thus, for this problem:
The first two opposite sides will be 10 ft long and they are also parallel
The third side is 6 ft long
This means that the fourth side will definitely be equal to the third one and parallel to it.
The answer is : A) 6 ft
