The following is an incomplete two-column proof that rectangle ABCD is a parallelogram with congruent diagonals:

What reason completes the proof? Alternate Interior Angles Theorem Definition of Congruence Property of Parallelograms Same-Side Interior Angles Theorem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The third one

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

I think it might be the third one, but I'm not sure...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh okay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@LukeBlueFive do u know

OpenStudy (lukebluefive):

I think it's the Same-Side Interior Angles Theorem, since BA and CD and parallel lines and AD intersects them.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

alright

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

actually, I think Definition of Congruence because it's walking about <BAD = <CDA which had been said to be both equal to 90 degrees in the first step

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

*talking about

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmm

OpenStudy (lukebluefive):

It could also be congruence. Those are the two choices.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it's the 3rd one

OpenStudy (lukebluefive):

No, can't be the third one, since not all parallelograms have right angles.

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

a parallelogram can have right angles, but a property of parallelogram (IF it was using that property) would have looked like <BAD + <CDA = 180

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the last one

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

I already ruled out A and D because <BAD = <CDA doesn't have to do with diagonals

OpenStudy (lukebluefive):

The problem states that rectangle ABCD is a parallelogram with congruent diagonals.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh I thought you where talking about the sides on the angles

OpenStudy (anonymous):

names*

OpenStudy (lukebluefive):

A doesn't apply, since the angles aren't alternate.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

B

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

yeah

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can u help me with one more?

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

I'll try ^_^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The figure below shows rectangle ABCD:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The two-column proof with missing statement proves that the diagonals of the rectangle bisect each other.
