Could someone please help me?

Alternate Interior angles are congruent when lines are parallel. Use Angle Addition Postulate.

OpenStudy (lime):

\[m \angle ABD+m \angle CBD=m \angle B \]

OpenStudy (lime):

\[\angle B \approx \angle D \]

OpenStudy (lime):

Or \[\angle A \approx \angle C\]

OpenStudy (lime):

I'm guessing you might have figured that out yourself. The key phrase is 'Alternate Interior angles are congruent when lines are parallel.'

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah. haha So like what else do I need to write to prove they are congruent?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I searched all through the lesson and I can't find where they say Angles. I only do the sides! ?

OpenStudy (lime):

It's a property of parallelograms. That statement is really enough proof as it is. I would back that statement up with the diagram and equations; if the question pushes for more information.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

SO write "Alternate Interior angles are congruent when lines are parallel."??

OpenStudy (lime):

Opposite angles are congruent because correspondent angles on congruent triangles are congruent. Yes, Alternate Interior angles are congruent when lines are parallel. The question is referring to angles.
