What reason completes the proof?

The third one
jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):
I think it might be the third one, but I'm not sure...

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

*talking about
OpenStudy (anonymous):
hmm
OpenStudy (lukebluefive):
It could also be congruence. Those are the two choices.

so it's the 3rd one

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.

oh I thought you where talking about the sides on the angles
OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (lukebluefive):
A doesn't apply, since the angles aren't alternate.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
B
jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):
yeah

can u help me with one more?

I'll try ^_^

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.
