Question

Match each statement to the reasons given for the geometric proof.

Answer 1

Answer:  5, 3, 1, 2, 6, 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The proof should be written as follows (which is a different order than provided):

  Statement                                               Reason                                        

1. ABCD is a parallelogram                     1. Given

2. AB||DC and AD||BC and AB ≅ DC     2. Definition of parallelogram

3. ∠ABD ≅ ∠CDB                                    3. Alternate Interior Angles Theorem

4. ∠DEC ≅ ∠BEA                                     4. Vertical Angles Theorem

5. ΔABE ≅ ΔCDE                                    5. AAS Congruency Theorem

6. AE = CE and BE = DE                         6. CPCTC

This is the order provided in your question:

5. ΔABE ≅ ΔCDE                                    5. AAS Congruency Theorem

3. ∠ABD ≅ ∠CDB                                    3. Alternate Interior Angles Theorem

1. ABCD is a parallelogram                     1. Given

2. AB||DC and AD||BC and AB ≅ DC     2. Definition of parallelogram

6. AE = CE and BE = DE                         6. CPCTC

4. ∠DEC ≅ ∠BEA                                     4. Vertical Angles Theorem
