Question
Read the following proof carefully. Then fill in the best term for each blank.
We are given that AC¯?BD¯.
AB¯?DC¯ are congruent because they are ___[1]____ sides of a parallelogram.
AD¯?AD¯ by the Reflexive Property of Congruence.
Thus, ?ABD??ACD by the SSS Congruence Postulate.
Then, ?BAD??CDA because they are corresponding angles of congruent triangles.
m?BAD+m?CDA=180°because ___[2]____ angles of a parallelogram are supplementary.
Using substitution and the definition of congruent angles, statement 6 can be simplified to conclude that m?BAD=90° and m?CDA=90°.
Similar reasoning shows that m?DCB=90° and m?CBA=90°.
Thus, parallelogram ABCD is a rectangle by definition of a rectangle.
Enter the words that correctly fill in the blanks labeled [1] and [2]. Separate your answers with a comma, like this: parallelogram, determine
Given: ABCD is a parallelogram with congruent diagonals. Prove: ABCD is a rectangle.Explanation / Answer
