In quadrilateral ABCD, triangle ADC is congruent to CBA. Show that ABCD is a parallelogram.

4. In quadrilateral ABCD, triangle ADC is congruent to CBA. Show that ABCD is a parallelogram.

Answer

Answer:

To show that quadrilateral ABCD is a parallelogram, we need to prove that both pairs of opposite sides are parallel.

  1. Since triangle ADC is congruent to triangle CBA, we have:
  • AD = CB (corresponding sides of congruent triangles are equal)
  • DC = BA (corresponding sides of congruent triangles are equal)
  • Since both pairs of opposite sides are equal, ABCD is a parallelogram by the definition of a parallelogram (a quadrilateral with both pairs of opposite sides equal).
  • Have a similar question?
