I know that it is true. But I'm not sure how to write a proof for this.

OpenStudy (phi):

Of course, if you know the opposite sides of a 4-sided figure are =, you can prove the opposite sides are parallel, which is the other definition of a parallelogram

OpenStudy (phi):

It seems with these problems put on your "hunt for congruent triangles" hat bisect suggests sides. crossing diagonals suggest = vertex angles.

OpenStudy (phi):

Put a single hash mark on the 2 halves of one of the diagonals, and 2 hash marks on the halves of the other diagonal. mark the = vertex angles. You are looking at a SAS congruent triangle.
