The correct Answer is:
To determine the term that best describes the parallelogram ABCD, we will analyze the given angles and properties step by step. ### Step 1: Understand the properties of a parallelogram A parallelogram has opposite sides that are equal and parallel. The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other. ### Step 2: Identify the given angles We have the following angles: - Angle ABC = 110° - Angle ACB = 35° - Angle ADB = 55° ### Step 3: Use the properties of angles in a parallelogram Since ABCD is a parallelogram, we know that: - Angle ABC + Angle ADC = 180° (consecutive angles) - Angle ACB + Angle BDC = 180° (consecutive angles) ### Step 4: Find angle BDC We can find angle BDC using the fact that angle ADB is equal to angle BDC (alternate interior angles): - Angle BDC = Angle ADB = 55° ### Step 5: Find angle ADC Now, we can find angle ADC: - Angle ADC = 180° - Angle ABC = 180° - 110° = 70° ### Step 6: Check the properties of the diagonals Since the diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other, we can analyze triangle BOC: - In triangle BOC, we have: - Angle ACB = 35° - Angle BDC = 55° Using the angle sum property: - Angle BOC = 180° - (Angle ACB + Angle BDC) = 180° - (35° + 55°) = 180° - 90° = 90° ### Step 7: Analyze triangle ABC Now, let's analyze triangle ABC: - We already know: - Angle ABC = 110° - Angle ACB = 35° To find angle BAC: - Angle BAC = 180° - (Angle ABC + Angle ACB) = 180° - (110° + 35°) = 180° - 145° = 35° ### Step 8: Check for equal sides Since angle ACB = angle BAC = 35°, we can conclude that sides AB and BC are equal (by the Isosceles Triangle Theorem). ### Step 9: Conclusion In parallelogram ABCD: - The adjacent sides are equal (AB = BC). - The diagonals are perpendicular (BD ⊥ AC). These properties indicate that ABCD is not just a parallelogram, but specifically a **rhombus**. ### Final Answer The term that best describes ABCD is **rhombus**. ---
