Happy early birthday Synth.  

Do realize that this is a CALCULATOR site ??

Do not edit the question. Especially not after it has been answered!

The answer is only A because the quadrilateral can be a isosceles trapezium. It does not have to be a parallogram.

WOW,

That was FAST!

And impressive!

Nice work Gavin :)

Very impressive Heureka :)

I have now answered on yesterdays post. 

I have to continue on  a second post because it is not displaying properly.

\( \text{Now consider the points MPN, these points either form a triangle or they are collinear}\\ \text{If they form a line then MP+PN=MN}\\ \text{If they from a triangle then use this fact:}\\ \text{In any triangle the sum of any 2 side lengths must be longer than the third side.}\\ So\;\; \\ {MP}+{PN} \ge{MN}\\ 2 {MP}+2{PN}\ge2{MN}\\ AB+CD\ge2MN\\ 2MN\le AB+CD\\ MN \le \frac{AB+CD}{2} \)

There can only be an equality if  P lies on the line MN in which case there is no triagle MPN and the the quadrilateral ABCD must be a trapezium (Australian definition, I think Americans call it a trapezoid) where  \(AB \| DC\)

\(Consider\;\; \triangle BDC\;\;and\;\;\triangle BPN\\ \angle PBN=\angle DBC \;\qquad common\;\;angle\\ \frac{\overline{ BD}}{\overline{BP}}=\frac{\overline{ BC}}{\overline{BN}}=2\\ \therefore \triangle BPN \sim \triangle BDC\\ \qquad      \text{One equal angle and leg lengths from it in the same ratio.}\\ So \;\;\overline{DC}=2 \cdot \overline{PN}      \qquad \text{ corresponding sides in similar triangles with a dilation factor of 2}\)

Using the same logic with \(\triangle APD\;\; and\;\; \triangle MPD\) it can be shown that  

\(\overline{AB}=2\cdot \overline{MP} \)

I assume you mean

if its spring now what was it 3 months ago

In Australia it is clearly defined.

Winter comes before spring.

So the answer is Winter.

Our seasons are defined by months, I think in the US it works differently.
