The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to identify the type of parallelogram based on the given properties: the diagonals are equal, and the adjacent sides are equal. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Properties**: - A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with opposite sides that are equal and parallel. - The diagonals of a parallelogram are equal if it is a rectangle or a rhombus. - Adjacent sides being equal indicates that the sides next to each other are of the same length. 2. **Identifying the Type of Parallelogram**: - If the diagonals are equal, the parallelogram could be a rectangle or a rhombus. - If the adjacent sides are also equal, this indicates that each side is of the same length, which is a property of a rhombus. 3. **Conclusion**: - Since both conditions are satisfied (diagonals are equal and adjacent sides are equal), the parallelogram in question is a **rhombus**. ### Final Answer: The parallelogram is a **rhombus**.
