Question

If JK and LM are congruent and parallel, then JKL and MLK are congruent. True False

Answer 1

Answer:

TRUE

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that line segment JK and LM are parallel. From picture we see that LK is transversal line.

We know that corresponding angles formed by transversal line are congruent.

Hence ∠JKL = ∠ MLK ...(i)

Now consider triangles JKL and MLK

JK = LM  {Given}

∠JKL = ∠ MLK { Using (i) }

KL = KL  {common sides}

Hence by SAS property of congruency of triangles, ΔJKL and ΔMLK are congurent.

Hence given statement is TRUE.
