Question

I really need help with these two problems.


Using angle BEA is congruent to angle DEC to help prove the triangles congruent. What reason should the student give?

o angle A is congruent to angle C
o angle CDE is congruent to angle ABE
o line segment AE is congruent to line segment CE
o line segment AB is congruent to line segment CD

Based only on the given information, which theorem or postulate will prove triangle ABE is congruent to triangle CDE?

o SAS
o SSS
o ASA
o AAS

Diagram will be in the comments. Please wait a f moments.

Answer 1

Can you help me please?

Answer 2

Are you told that ABCD is a parallelogram?

Answer 3

No.
The information they gave me is the following:
Given: triangle ABD is congruent to triangle CDB, line segment AB is parallel to line segment CD
Prove: ABE is congruent to triangle CDE

Answer 4

You need to state all that with the problem or it can't be solved. Now let me try again.

Answer 5

I know, I forgot to do so.

Answer 6

ok, no problem, we have it now.

Answer 7

Okay, so how should be go about solving this?

Answer 8

The first part, <BEA is congr to <DEC is by vertical angles, and none of the reasons stated there.

Answer 9

I have a question. So, they say angle BEA is congruent to angle DEC. If they were to say angle CDE is congruent to ABE...is it the same thing?

Answer 10

Sorry, part 2 is ASA

Answer 11

Why is that?
