Question
complete the proof.
given: \\( \angle a b d \cong \angle c b d, \angle b d a \cong \angle b d c \\)
prove: \\( \overline{a b} \cong \overline{c b} \\)
| statements | reasons |
|---|---|
| 2. \\( \overline{b d} \cong \overline{b d} \\) | 2. reflexive property of \\( \cong \\) |
| 3. \\( \triangle a b d \cong \triangle c b d \\) | 3. asa postulate (steps 1, 2) |
| 4. \\( \overline{a b} \cong \overline{c b} \\) | 4. |
Step1: Recall triangle congruence properties
If two triangles are congruent, their corresponding parts are congruent.
Step2: Analyze the given proof steps
We have shown \(\triangle ABD\cong\triangle CBD\) (by ASA - Angle - Side - Angle postulate).
Step3: Apply the Corresponding Parts of Congruent Triangles are Congruent (CPCTC)
Since \(\triangle ABD\cong\triangle CBD\), then \(\overline{AB}\) and \(\overline{CB}\) are corresponding parts.
