Proof #5

Directrix (directrix):

The first step is to mark up the diagram with the given information. This gives, I hope, an idea on how to do the proof. Here is what we have so far.

Directrix (directrix):

We have one pair of angles and one pair of sides congruent. We need another pair of angles and can get them from the parallel segments.

where will the parallel segments be at?

Directrix (directrix):

Look at the given of the proof: Segment AB || Segment CD.

Directrix (directrix):

Why are angles A and C congruent? The answer has to do with parallel lines cut by a transversal and a certain kind of angles being congruent. |dw:1385368046469:dw|
