if we look on one side, we already have one measurement. 4 cm. ok, that's the measurement on that side. look to the left now. that other side is also the same length, so we take that number and multiply it be 2 to get
Wait! we're not done yet. look at the top. do you see the 3? well that's the width for the top of the rectangle. the bottom must be the same to right? so we get
add both equations and you get
The answer is 14cm! Don't forget to label. ;)
The parts that are missing in the proof are:
It is given
∠2 ≅ ∠3
converse alternate exterior angles theorem
<h3>What is the Converse of Alternate Exterior Angles Theorem?</h3>The theorem states that, if two exterior alternate angles are congruent, then the lines cut by the transversal are parallel.
∠1 ≅ ∠3 and l║m because we are: given
By the transitive property,
∠2 and ∠3 are alternate interior angles, therefore, they are congruent to each other by the alternate interior angles theorem.
Based on the converse alternate exterior angles theorem, lines p and q are proven to be parallel.
Therefore, the missing parts pf the paragraph proof are:
