False. In a parallelogram, both opposite sides and opposite angles are congruent.

How to determine the true statement

From the question, we have the following parameters that can be used in our computation:

In a parallelogram, opposite sides are congruent but opposite angles are not congruent.

A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with opposite sides that are both parallel and equal in length.

This means that opposite sides are congruent.

Also, the opposite angles in a parallelogram are also congruent.

This is as a result of the parallel sides, and it can be proven through the use of angles formed by parallel lines cut by a transversal.

Hence, in a parallelogram, opposite sides are congruent, and opposite angles are also congruent.
