Question

complete the proof.
given: \\( \angle abd \cong \angle cbd, \angle bda \cong \angle bdc \\)
prove: \\( \overline{ab} \cong \overline{cb} \\)

  1. \\( \angle abd \cong \angle cbd, \angle bda \cong \angle bdc \\) 1. given
  2. \\( \overline{bd} \cong \overline{bd} \\) 2. reflexive property of \\( \cong \\)
  3. \\( \triangle abd \cong \triangle cbd \\) 3.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the ASA (Angle - Side - Angle) Congruence Criterion

Two angles and the included side of one triangle are congruent to two angles and the included side of another triangle.

Step2: Identify the parts in triangles \( \triangle ABD\) and \( \triangle CBD\)

We have \( \angle ABD\cong\angle CBD\) (given angle), \( \overline{BD}\cong\overline{BD}\) (common side, reflexive property), and \( \angle BDA\cong\angle BDC\) (given angle).

Step3: Apply the ASA Criterion

Since two angles (\( \angle ABD,\angle BDA\)) and the included side (\( \overline{BD}\)) of \( \triangle ABD\) are congruent to two angles (\( \angle CBD,\angle BDC\)) and the included side (\( \overline{BD}\)) of \( \triangle CBD\), by the ASA (Angle - Side - Angle) congruence criterion, \( \triangle ABD\cong\triangle CBD\).

Answer:

ASA (Angle - Side - Angle)
