Which reason can be used to fill in the blank spaces? Angle Addition Postulate Definition of a Quadrilateral Definition of Parallel Lines Definition of a Parallelogram

@jim_thompson5910

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

the missing reason is "Definition of a Parallelogram" since we're using the definition to show that AB is parallel to CD

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

same with BC parallel to AD

Thanks i Have Couple More Questions

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

sure go for it

The paragraph proof with missing statement proves that the opposite interior angles of the rhombus are congruent Which statement can be used to fill in the blank space? The figure is a rhombus which is given. The definition of a rhombus guarantees that and are parallel and that and are parallel. ∡1 + ∡2 = 180 and ∡2 + ∡3 = 180 because they are same side interior angles of two parallel lines cut by a transversal. By the transitive property of equality, __________________________. Using the subtraction property of equality, ∡1 = ∡3. Similarly, ∡2 + ∡3 = 180 and ∡3 + ∡4 = 180 because they are same side interior angles of two parallel lines cut by a transversal. Therefore, using the transitive property of equality, ∡2 + ∡3 = ∡3 + ∡4. Using the subtraction property of equality, ∡2 = ∡4. Since ∡1 = ∡3 and ∡2 = ∡4 by the definition of congruence, these opposite angles are congruent.

one sec

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

I'm looking up the answer

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

by the transitive property of equality, which says that if A = B and B = C, then A = C So if ∡1 + ∡2 = 180 and ∡2 + ∡3 = 180, then ∡1 + ∡2 = ∡2 + ∡3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

∡ADB ≅ ∡CBD ∡ABE ≅ ∡ADE ∡ACD ≅ ∡ACE ∡ACE ≅ ∡CBD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Those Are My Choices

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

hmm well if ∡1 = ∡3, then angle DAB = angle DCB

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

but that's not in there

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Nope

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

why does it mention a point E when E isn't even drawn out?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how do i screen shot ?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

hit the printscreen key on your keyboard and paste the image into paint and save it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@jim_thompson5910 Can You see It ?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

ah, totally different pic, thanks

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

ok which piece is missing in the pic?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im Confused lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry i Was Nver Good At Geometry

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

its ok, but I don't see anything missing

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

it looks all filled in to me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

My Anwer Choices Are ∡ADB ≅ ∡CBD ∡ABE ≅ ∡ADE ∡ACD ≅ ∡ACE ∡ACE ≅ ∡CBD

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yes i see that, but in your screenshot, i don't see where that would go...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Soo What Should i Do ?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

is there more to this that I'm not seeing in the pic (like is there stuff below this)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i Will Take a lower Screen shot

OpenStudy (anonymous):

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

you know it's a long problem when two screenshots barely cover it all...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

LMAO GOOD ONE !

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

lol one sec

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

the missing statement is angle ADB is congruent to angle CBD So it's choice A The reason is because this is the last piece that's needed to use the ASA property

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank You

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yw

OpenStudy (dan815):

hey what are u trying to do?

OpenStudy (dan815):

u want something proven for the rhombus?
