I need help with this Embedded Assessment really badly, because I don't know how to figure it out. I know the information, but don't know what to put down. Medal will be rewarded! :D

idk this word proof things, but I can proof two triangles to be congruent. DE = BE (Given) AB || CD (Given) angle ABD = angle BDC (alternate interior angles are congruent) angle BAC = angle ACD (alternate interior angles are congruent) triangle EAB = triangle ECD (SAA postulate)

OpenStudy (firejay5):

Anything could work

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

then to prove number 5 of whatever AE = EC (idk name, congruent triangles have congruent corresponding sides) therefore by definition of bisecting and midpoint E is midpoint of AC

OpenStudy (firejay5):

I could do the 2 column proof if I have the flow chart

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

I never learned flow chart, sorry :/

do you know a 2 column proof

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

would this work? DE = BE (Given) AB || CD (Given) angle ABD = angle BDC (alternate interior angles are congruent) angle BAC = angle ACD (alternate interior angles are congruent) triangle EAB = triangle ECD (SAA postulate)

OpenStudy (firejay5):

hmmm... normally I've never seen two givens next to each other

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

I haven't done geometry in many years, so it might be a bit off ;)

OpenStudy (firejay5):

well it's a good job! :D

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

I did the best I could and that's all I know... Good Luck! :)

OpenStudy (firejay5):

thanks for the help! :D
