We can see here that:

  • The polygon QRST meets the criteria for being a parallelogram.
  • It also meets the criteria for being a rhombus due to its equal side lengths.

Based on the given information, we can determine the properties of the polygon QRST.

1. QR | ST: This notation indicates that QR is parallel to ST. Therefore, opposite sides QR and ST are parallel.

2. RS || TQ: This notation indicates that RS is parallel to TQ. Therefore, opposite sides RS and TQ are parallel.

From the given information, we can conclude that QRST is a parallelogram.

Now, let's analyze the lengths of the sides:

  • QR = ST = 11
  • RS = TQ = 20

Since all sides of QRST are congruent, we can conclude that QRST is a rhombus.

However, we need to consider the angles to further determine the type of rhombus.

  • ∠Q = ∠S = 90°: A rhombus with right angles is called a rectangle.
  • ∠Q ≠ ∠S: If the angles are not right angles, we can conclude that QRST is not a rectangle.

Therefore, based on the given information, we can conclude that QRST is a rhombus, but it is not a rectangle or a square.

To summarize, the correct answers are:

  • Parallelogram
  • Rhombus
