The flow chart proof with missing statements and reasons proves that if a line intersects two sides of a triangle and divides these sides proportionally, the line is parallel to the third side Which reason can be used to fill in the numbered blank space? Answer 1. ∡BDE ≅ ∡BAC 2. Corresponding Angles Postulate 1. ∡BDE ≅ ∡BAC 2. Corresponding Parts of Similar Triangles 1. ∡BDE ≅ ∡BCA 2. Alternate Exterior Theorem 1. ∡BDE ≅ ∡BCA 2. Corresponding Parts of Similar Triangles

Any ideas?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The question is not clear, can we assume that the sides are parallel?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If we can assume that the midsegement and the third side are parallel then : 1. ∡BDE ≅ ∡BAC 2. Corresponding Angles Postulate

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well, There is no parallel symbol on segment DE. so what would it be if it was not parallel?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1. ∡BDE ≅ ∡BCA 2. Corresponding Parts of Similar Triangles

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well that last statement says DE P AC. I am going ot assume "p" is parallel

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't understand.
