Answer:

B. Yes; diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other. If the diagonals of a quadrilateral bisect each other, the quadrilateral is a parallelogram.

Answer: B. Yes; diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.

If AE=EC and BE=DE then quadrilateral ABCD is a parallelogram because  diagonals of parallelogram bisect each other.

What is parallelogram?

A parallelogram is a 2 dimensional figure whose opposite sides are equal to each other and parallel to each other. Area of parallelogram is base*height.

How to prove quadrilateral a parallelogram?

To be parallelogram ΔAEB and ΔEDC should be congruent.

Angle AEB= Angle DEC

AE=EC

DE=EB

so both triangles are congruent by side, side, angle.

Similarly AE=EC , DE=EB and vertical angles AED= Vertical angle BEC.

Therefore triangle AED and BEC are congruent and that makes all their corresponding sides are also congruent.

And AB=DC.

Hence both pairs of opposite sides of a quadrilateral are congruent ,then the quadrilateral is a parallelogram.
