Answer:

First one

Explanation:

Since PNM and MQP are congruent triangles,

PN = MQ

PQ = MN

Which means opposite sides of the figure are equal in length, making it a parallelogram

Answer:

It is the 1st answer.

Explanation:

In order to prove its a parallelogram, you need to prove that both pairs of opposite sides are congruent. Seeing how if you draw a line through the middle of the parallelogram it creates to congruent triangles (Im guessing thats what the question is implying), you can prove that PN ≅ MQ and that PQ ≅ NM, therefore proving that both pairs of opposite sides are congruent

PS. Good luck with proofs, they suck
