Q: In a parallelogram, which of the following properties is NOT true?
Solution: In a parallelogram, while opposite angles are equal and diagonals bisect each other, all sides being equal is a property of a rhombus, not all parallelograms.
Steps: 4
Step 1: Understand what a parallelogram is. A parallelogram is a four-sided shape (quadrilateral) where opposite sides are parallel.
Step 2: Learn the properties of a parallelogram. In a parallelogram, opposite angles are equal, and the diagonals (lines connecting opposite corners) bisect each other (cut each other in half).
Step 3: Identify the property that is NOT true for all parallelograms. While all sides being equal is a property of a rhombus, it is NOT a property of all parallelograms.
Step 4: Conclude that the statement 'all sides are equal' is the property that is NOT true for all parallelograms.
