The length of EC = 6, while the length of DC = 7.

What are the properties of a parallelogram?

A parallelogram can be defined as a type of quadrilateral that has the following functions:

  • The opposite sides are equal.
  • The opposite sides are parallel.
  • The opposite angles are equal.
  • The adjacent angles add up to 180⁰
  • The diagonals bisect each other.

The length of EC would be =6 because the bisector of the parallelogram divided line AC into two equal parts.

The length of DC would be = 7 because opposite sides are equal in a parallelogram.
