Solution Steps

00:00 Is AB parallel to CD?
00:03 ABCD is a square according to the given, therefore all angles are right angles
00:09 In a square, each pair of opposite sides is parallel
00:15 And this is the solution to the question

Step-by-Step Solution

Let's think about the different definitions of different lines.

Looking at side AB and side CD, we can see that if we extend either of them, they will never intersect.

Also, according to the properties of a rectangle, each pair of opposite sides are parallel to each other.

Therefore, the answer is correct and indeed AB is parallel to CD
