Answer:

D. Angles BAC and DCA are congruent by the Alternate interior angles theorem.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given ABCD is a parallelogram.

AB=CD and BC=AD

AB\parallel CD \; and\; BC\parallel AD

To prove that AB\cong CD\; and\; BC\cong AD.

Proof: According to given information

AB\parallel CD and segment BC\parallel AD.

Construct diagonal AC with a straightedge.

In \triangle ABC\; and\; \triangle ADC

AC=AC

Reflexive property of equality.

m\angle BCA\cong m\angle DAC

By alternate interior angles theorem.

m\angle BAC\cong m\angle DCA

By alternate interior angles theorem.

\triangle BCA\cong\triangle DAC

By ASA( Angle-Side_Angle) theorem.

By CPCTC opposite sides AB and CD, as well as BC and DA are congruent.

Hence proved.

John is 3 years older than Susan and khalid is 5 years younger than her . The sum of their ages is 40 .
lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

John is 17,

Susan is 14,

and Khalid is 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

a = John's age

b = Susan's age

c = Khalid's age

Let's set our rules from the given information.

a = b + 3

c = b - 5

a + b + c = 40

Now, we can solve for b through substitution.

(b + 3) + b + (b - 5) = 40

3b - 2 = 40

3b = 42

b = 14

So, now that we have Susan's age, we can follow the rules and see if it holds.

17 + 14 + 9 = 40 Viola!
