In quadrilateral ABCD, diagonals AC and BD bisect one another:
What statement is used to prove that quadrilateral ABCD is a parallelogram? Segment AP is congruent to segment CP. Segment BP is congruent to segment AP Sides AB and BC are congruent. Triangles BCP and CDP are congruent.
from the given statement, you can only directly prove that the segment bisected has congruent parts, by Definition of Bisecting therefore |dw:1385942200582:dw|
would it be " Segment BP is congruent to segment AP"?

not quite :) |dw:1385942721819:dw|
"Triangles BCP and CDP are congruent."?
from the given statement, you can only directly prove that the segment bisected makes two congruent parts so triangles are not involved... |dw:1385942893822:dw|
