The following is the proof that, given parallelogram JKLM, ∠JKL≅∠LMJ. Statement Reason 1. JKLM is a parallelogram. Given. 2. JL is drawn. A line can be drawn connecting any two points 3. __________________ ______________________________ 4. JK || LM and KL || MJ The opposite sides of a parallelogram are parallel. 5._____________________ _______________________________ 6. ΔJKL≅ΔLMJ If two angles and the included side of one triangle are congruent to the corresponding parts of a second triangle, the triangles are congruent. 7. ∠JKL≅∠LMJ Corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent. Which statements and reasons complete this proof? POSSIBLE ANSWER CHOICES : Statement 3: JL⎯⎯⎯⎯≅JL⎯⎯⎯⎯ Reason 3: Any figure is congruent to itself. Statement 3: LM⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯≅KL⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ Reason 3: Adjacent sides of a parallelogram are congruent. Statement 3: JL⎯⎯⎯⎯ bisects ∠KLM. Reason 3: The diagonal of a parallelogram bisects opposite angles. Statement 5: ∠JLM and ∠LMJ are supplementary, and ∠LJK and ∠JKL are supplementary Reason 5: When two parallel lines are crossed by a transversal, same-side interior angles are supplementary. Statement 5: ∠KJL≅∠MLJ and ∠KLJ≅∠MJL Reason 5: When two parallel lines are crossed by a transversal, alternate interior angles are congruent. Statement 5: ∠KJL≅∠MJL and ∠KLJ≅∠JLM Reason 5: When two parallel lines are crossed by a transversal, alternate interior angles are congruent.
