(N/A) To prove that $BEFC$ is a parallelogram.
Given that $BC = EF$ and $BC \parallel EF$.
$A$ quadrilateral is a parallelogram if one pair of opposite sides is equal and parallel.
Since $BEFC$ is a quadrilateral in which the pair of opposite sides $BC$ and $EF$ is equal and parallel,
Therefore,$BEFC$ is a parallelogram.
