(N/A) To prove that $ABED$ is a parallelogram.
We know that a quadrilateral is a parallelogram if a pair of opposite sides is parallel and equal in length.
Given:
$AB = DE$
$AB \parallel DE$
In quadrilateral $ABED$,we have a pair of opposite sides ($AB$ and $DE$) which are both parallel and equal in length.
Therefore,$ABED$ is a parallelogram.
