we know that

There are six important properties of parallelograms to know:

1) Opposite sides are congruent (AB = DC and AD=BC).
2) Opposite angles are congruent (D = B and A=C)
3) Consecutive angles are supplementary (A + D = 180° and D+C= 180°).
4) If one angle is right, then all angles are right.
5) The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.
6) Each diagonal of a parallelogram separates it into two congruent triangles.

Part 1)
What is BC?
BC=AD-----------> BC=10 cm--------> by
Opposite sides are congruent

the answer Part 1) is
BC=10 cm

Part 2) What is m∠BCD?
m∠BCD=m∠DAB-----> m∠BCD=120°----> by Opposite angles are congruent

the answer part 2) is
m∠BCD=120°

part 3) What is AB?
AB=CD------> AB=5 cm----> by Opposite sides are congruent

the answer Part 3) is
AB=5 cm

Part 4) What is EB?
EB=DE-----> EB=6.1 cm----> by
The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.

the answer Part 4) is
EB=6.1 cm
