To prove that DEFG is a parallelogram, we can use several properties of parallelograms. Here are two adequate methods for proving DEFG is a parallelogram:

  1. One Set of Opposite Sides is Parallel and Congruent: If one set of opposite sides is both parallel and congruent, then DEFG is a parallelogram. This response states: "Yes, one set of sides is congruent and the other set are parallel."

  2. Consecutive Angles are Supplementary: If an angle of quadrilateral DEFG is supplementary to both of its consecutive angles, then DEFG is a parallelogram. This is confirmed by the response: "Yes. An angle of DEFG is supplementary to both of its consecutive angles."

Therefore, the correct responses to prove DEFG is a parallelogram are:

  • "Yes. An angle of DEFG is supplementary to both of its consecutive angles."
  • "Yes, one set of sides is congruent and the other set are parallel."

Both responses are valid, and based on either property, DEFG can be proven to be a parallelogram.
