Answer:

No, she is not correct

Explanation:

Given: Alana claims that not all 4-sided polygons with 2 pairs of equal sides are parallelograms

To check: whether she is correct or not.

Solution:

Any two-dimensional figure formed using straight lines is known as a polygon. Triangles, quadrilaterals are examples of polygons.

A parallelogram is a quadrilateral in which opposite sides are parallel.

Kite is a polygon made up of four sides with two pairs of equal sides that are adjacent to each other but it is not a parallelogram as its opposite sides are not parallel.

So, she is not correct.
