The correct Answer is:
To determine the type of quadrilateral PQRS given that \( \overline{PQ} \parallel \overline{RS} \) and \( PR = QS \), we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Properties of the Quadrilateral**: - We have a quadrilateral PQRS. - It is given that \( \overline{PQ} \parallel \overline{RS} \). This means that these two sides are parallel to each other. 2. **Analyze the Lengths of the Diagonals**: - The problem states that \( PR = QS \). This indicates that the lengths of the diagonals PR and QS are equal. 3. **Determine the Type of Quadrilateral**: - A quadrilateral with one pair of parallel sides is known as a trapezium (or trapezoid in some regions). - Additionally, if the non-parallel sides (in this case, PR and QS) are equal in length, then the trapezium is specifically classified as an isosceles trapezium. 4. **Conclusion**: - Since \( \overline{PQ} \parallel \overline{RS} \) and \( PR = QS \), we conclude that quadrilateral PQRS is an **isosceles trapezium**. ### Final Answer: PQRS is an **isosceles trapezium**.
