A parallelogram has vertices upper A, upper B, upper C, and upper D. Opposite vertices are connected via diagonal lines that intersect at an interior point labeled upper E. Sides upper A upper D and upper B upper C are much longer than the other sides. EB as 15-z and ED as 8+z
If you were to prove that quadrilateral ABCD is a parallelogram, what would need to be true about EB and ED?

To prove that quadrilateral ABCD is a parallelogram, one key property that needs to be satisfied is that the diagonals bisect each other. In this case, point E is the point of intersection of diagonals AC and BD.
For diagonals to bisect each other, the lengths of segments EB and ED must be equal:
EB must be the same length as ED.
Thus, the correct response is:
EB must be the same length as ED.
