Quadrilateral ABCD is a parallelogram if both pairs of opposite sides are congruent. Show that quadrilateral ABCD is a parallelogram by finding the lengths of the opposite side pairs.

The given quadrilateral ABCD is a parallelogram since the opposite sides are of same length AB and DC is 4 and AD and BC is 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

ABCD is a quadrilateral with their opposite sides are congruent (equal).

The both pairs of opposite sides are given as AB = 3 + x , DC = 4x , AD = y + 1 , BC = 2y.

To find the length of AB and DC :

AB = DC

3 + x = 4x

Keep x terms on one side and constant on other side.

3 = 4x - x

3 = 3x

x = 1

Substiute x=1 in AB and DC,

AB = 3+1 = 4

DC = 4(1) = 4

To find the length of AD and BC :

AD = BC

y + 1 = 2y

Keep y terms on one side and constant on other side.

2y-y = 1

y = 1

Substiute y=1 in AD and BC,

AD = 1+1 = 2

BC = 2(1) = 2

Therefore, the opposite sides are of same length AB and DC is 4 and AD and BC is 2. The given quadrilateral ABCD is a parallelogram.
