Choose ALL answers that describe the polygon IJKL, given:

- \( IJ = 23 \)
- \( JK = 46 \)
- \( KL = 23 \)
- \( LI = 46 \)
- \( \angle I \cong \angle K \)
- \( \angle J \cong \angle L \)
- \( IJ \parallel KL \)
- \( JK \parallel LI \)

A. Parallelogram
B. Quadrilateral
C. Rectangle
D. Rhombus
E. Square
F. Trapezoid

Answer :

Final answer:

Polygon IJKL, having equal opposite sides and angles, with two pairs of parallel sides, is described as a parallelogram and a quadrilateral. Therefore the correct option is ( A .

Explanation:

The given information about the polygon IJKL allows us to describe its properties. We are given that IJ=23, JK=46, KL=23, LI=46, which indicates that opposite sides are equal. Additionally, it's mentioned that ∠I ≅ ∠K, and ∠J ≅ ∠L, suggesting that opposite angles are congruent. The conditions IJ∥∥KL and JK∥∥LI show us that opposite sides are parallel. With these properties, the polygon can be described as a parallelogram. Since not all angles are mentioned to be right angles, it cannot be identified as a rectangle. As the lengths of the sides are not all equal, it is also not a rhombus or a square. The definition of a quadrilateral is a polygon with four sides, which applies here. Finally, a trapezoid has only one pair of parallel sides, so this does not describe IJKL since it has two pairs of parallel sides.
