The <em>correct answer</em> is:


Congruent triangles.


Explanation:


Consider the top and bottom sides of the parallelogram parallel lines. The diagonal of the parallelogram would be the transversal.


The diagonal splits each opposite angle into two pieces. Using the diagonal as a transversal means we have two pairs of alternate interior angles; this means each pair is congruent. This gives us two congruent angles in two triangles.


The diagonal of the parallelogram is congruent to itself. This gives us two angles and the side between them; this is the angle-side-angle, or ASA, congruence theorem. This proves that the two triangles are congruent.


Since the two triangles are congruent, the corresponding parts of each triangle would be congruent; this means the opposite sides of the parallelogram are congruent.

The definition of the interior angles of a triangle states that interior angles of a triangle add up to 180º.

This means we can find the measure of <CED: 

<CED + <ECD + <CDE = 180º
<CED = 180º - <ECD - <CDE
<CED = 180º - 43º - 35º
<CED = 102º

By the definition of vertical angles states that a pair of vertical angles are congruent.

This means <CED = <AEB
If <CED = 102º 
Then <AEB = 102º

By definition of the interior angles of triangles:
<AEB + <EBA + <BAE = 180º

<AEB = 102º
<EBA = 18º

102º + 18º + <BAE(<A) = 180º

<BAE = 180º - 102º - 18º
<BAE = 60º

<BAE is another way to say <A

<span>m∠A  = 60º</span>
