Prove: ΔABL≅ΔXYL

Answer 1

Statements Reasons
AB¯¯¯¯¯∣∣∣∣XY¯¯¯¯¯¯
AL¯¯¯¯¯≅LX¯¯¯¯¯ Given
∠A≅∠X If lines are parallel, then alternate interior angles are congruent.
∠ALB≅∠YLX Vertical angles are congruent.
ΔABL≅ΔXYL ASA congruence postulate

so you are basically just rephrasing the whole two column proof into full sentences.
like: "The line AB is parallel to the line XY because it was given to us."
and "Then the angle A would be congruent to angle X because parallel lines mean that the alternate internal angles would be congruent."
etc
