Sagot :

The opposite sides of the parallelogram are congruent given that the

opposite triangles formed by the diagonals are congruent.

Response:

  • (Choice C) ΔABE and ΔCDE by angle-side-angle postulate.

How to prove that opposite sides of a parallelogram are congruent?

The vertices of the parallelogram in the question is; ABCD

The point of intersection of the diagonals AC and BD is the point E

By proving that ΔABE ≅ ΔCDE, we have;

∠BEA ≅ ∠CED by vertical angles theorem

∠EAB ≅ ∠ECD by alternate angles theorem

The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other, therefore;

[tex]\overline{AE}[/tex] =  [tex]\mathbf{\overline{EC}}[/tex]  

Therefore;

ΔABE ≅ ΔCDE by angle-side-angle, ASA, congruency rule;

Which gives;

[tex]\overline{AB}[/tex] ≅ [tex]\overline{CD}[/tex] by CPCTC

The correct choice is therefore;

  • (Choice C) ΔABE and ΔCDE by angle-side-angle postulate
