Question

Help please?

Answer 1

I'll see what I can do to help. Might take a few. Be patient.

Answer 2

Okay. Any help is appreciated.

Answer 3

CMD = BAD

so BAD = BCD

therefore, CMD = BCD?

Answer 4

@petewe, you can't say CMD = BAD since that is not given.

Answer 5

It's also asking for a proof, which I don't understand how to even start because the example/practice problem that came with this was different than this question.

Answer 6

what kind of proof?

Answer 7

Angles A and M are congruent because KA = KM

Answer 8

Actually, @petewe did it

Answer 9

So I understand how he got that, but how do I put that as a proof?

Answer 10

CMD = CBD because of 2 equal angles in an isosceles triangle

BAD = BCD because of 2 opposite angles in a quadrilateral

Answer 11

BAD not CBD ^

Answer 12

Statements |Reasons
Parallogram ABCD |Given
AK = AM |Given
KAM = KMA |If two sides of a triangle are congruent, so are the opposite sides
KAM = BCD |Opposite angles of Parallelograms are congruent
BC || AD | Property of Parallelogram
BCD ≅ CMD | Corresponding Angles are congruent

Answer 13

Actually, thanks! That makes sense. Wow I cannot believe I didn't see that..
Thank you both very much! Each answer was very helpful, so since petewe already have a medal for this, I'll give Hero mine. Again, thanks!
