Answer:

There is no angle E in the quadilateral presented in the question. Also, the angles he used are not on opposite side.

Explanation:

To classify a quadrilateral is a parallelogram, a quadrilateral with both pairs of opposite sides must be parallel or congruent, that is in a quadrilateral ABCD, angle AB must equal CD and angle AD must equal BC.

Hence, when Felix said quadrilateral ABCD is a parallelogram because of BE = DE. His error was that "there is no angle E in the quadrilateral presented in the question and the angle he used are not on opposite side"
