To prove that STUV is a parallelogram, you need to establish that either opposite sides are congruent or that the diagonals bisect each other. Among the provided options, the one that directly states the necessary conditions for a parallelogram regarding opposite sides is:
ST¯¯¯¯¯¯¯≅UV¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ and TU¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ ≅SV¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
This means that side ST is congruent to side UV and side TU is congruent to side SV, which confirms that STUV is a parallelogram by the property that the opposite sides are equal in length.
So, the correct choice is:
ST¯¯¯¯¯¯¯≅UV¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ and TU¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ ≅SV¯¯¯¯¯¯¯.
