[tex]\overline {LM} \parallel \overline {ON} \ and \ \overline {LO} \parallel \overline {MN}[/tex] because they form congruent alternate interior angles with a common transversal, therefore, LMNO is a parallelogram because the opposite sides are parallel

The reason the above statement are correct is presented as follows:

The given parameters are;

[tex]\overline {LM}[/tex] is congruent to [tex]\overline {ON}[/tex] and [tex]\overline {LO}[/tex] is congruent to [tex]\overline {MN}[/tex]

LMNO is a plane shape which has the properties of a parallelogram. The the explanations below, it has been proven to be a parallelogram.

A parallelogram is a quadrilateral which has some unique properties. These properties can be used to prove if a given shape is a parallelogram or not.

To prove that LMNO as given in the question is a parallelogram:

  • The opposite sides of a parallelogram are congruent.

Thus,

/LM/ ≅ /ON/ (opposite side property)

/LO/ ≅ /MN/ (opposite side property)

  • The opposite sides are parallel to each other.

        i.e LM || ON and LO || MN

  • Consecutive angles are supplementary.

        i.e <MLO + <LMN = [tex]180^{o}[/tex]

also    

<LON + <MNO = [tex]180^{o}[/tex]

  • The diagonals are at right angles to each other.

LN ⊥ MO

  • Opposite angles are congruent.

     <LMN ≅ <LON  and <MLO ≅ <MNO

Therefore the given quadrilateral LMNO has all the properties described above, then it is a parallelogram.
