CAN SOMEONE HELP ME ? MEDAL AND +FAN (((((((JUST HELP )))))))
Write an indirect proof to show that opposite sides of a parallelogram are congruent. Be sure to create and name the appropriate geometric figures. This figure does not need to be submitted.

Consider this parallelogram
@Yttrium RIght !
Thru definition, we know that AB || CD and BD || DA
@Yttrium right !
We are to prove that AB = CD and BD = DA Then let AC be the diagonal of the parallelogram
@Yttrium ok
Consider two triangles ABC and CDA as the figure we had. In triangles, 1. <CBA = <ACD (the line AC is a transversal of parallel lines AB and CD,hence Angle CAB and ACD are alternate angles) 2. <ACB=<CAD (The line AC is a transversal of parallel lines BC and DA,hence Angle ACB and Angle CAD are alternate angles) 3. AC=CA (The common side to two triangles)
From conditions 1,2 and 3, Triangles ABC and CDA are congruent (By Angle -Side-Angle congruency property) Hence as triangles are congruent triangles , the corresponding sides are equal, Hence, AB = CD and BC = DA.
@Yttrium so the answer will be Consider two triangles ABC and CDA as the figure we had. In triangles, 1. <CBA = <ACD (the line AC is a transversal of parallel lines AB and CD,hence Angle CAB and ACD are alternate angles) 2. <ACB=<CAD (The line AC is a transversal of parallel lines BC and DA,hence Angle ACB and Angle CAD are alternate angles) 3. AC=CA (The common side to two triangles) From conditions 1,2 and 3, Triangles ABC and CDA are congruent (By Angle -Side-Angle congruency property) Hence as triangles are congruent triangles , the corresponding sides are equal, Hence, AB = CD and BC = DA.
Yeah.
Will you mind to help me with one more question :/ Please ? @Yttrium
Well, just not proving. Haha. Too long. XD
An isosceles trapezoid is a quadrilateral with two congruent legs and a pair of parallel bases. Prove the base angles of an isosceles trapezoid are congruent. Be sure to create and name the appropriate geometric figures. This figure does not need to be submitted. @Yttrium check it out !
