Math Problem Statement

Which quadrilateral shown could be proved to be a parallelogram by Theorem 6.2D (Quad with consecutive angles supplementary to both consecutive angles)?

Solution

The problem asks to identify which quadrilateral could be proved to be a parallelogram by Theorem 6.2D, which states that a quadrilateral is a parallelogram if both pairs of consecutive angles are supplementary (i.e., their sum is 180180^\circ).

Analysis of Quadrilaterals:

  1. ABCD: This quadrilateral shows equal opposite sides (parallelogram property), but there's no clear indication of supplementary angles.

  2. EFGH: The angles labeled as 180x180^\circ - x and xx indicate consecutive angles that sum to 180180^\circ. This satisfies the condition of Theorem 6.2D that consecutive angles must be supplementary.

  3. IJKL: It appears to be a rhombus-like shape, but there is no explicit information about consecutive angles being supplementary.

  4. MNOP: Diagonals intersect, but there’s no information about angles.

  5. QRST: It has some angle measures, but none show consecutive angles summing to 180180^\circ.

Conclusion:

The quadrilateral EFGH is the one that satisfies the conditions of Theorem 6.2D since it shows consecutive angles that are supplementary.
