Look at the parallelogram ABCD shown below. The table below shows the steps to prove that if the quadrilateral ABCD is a paralle
logram, then its opposite sides are congruent. Statement Reasons 1 . AB is parallel to DC and AD is parallel to BC - definition of parallelogram 2 . angle 1 = angle 2, angle 3 = angle 4 - if two parallel lines are cut by a transversal then the corresponding angles are congruent 3 . BD = BD - Reflexive Property 4 . triangles ADB and CBD are congruent - if two sides and the included angle of a triangle are congruent to the corresponding sides and angle of another triangle , then the triangles are congruent by SAS postulate 5 . AB = DC, AD = BC - corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent Which statement is true about the table? 1. It is not correct because it provides incorrect sequence of statement 2 and statement 4. 2. It is not correct because it does not provide correct reasons for statement 2 and statement 4. 3. It is accurate because it provides the correct sequence of statements. 4. It is accurate because it provides the correct reasons for the statements.
