Question

1. curtis is trying to justify a step in his paragraph proof. what is the property that he should use? ( overline{ab} cong overline{bc} ), therefore ( overline{bc} cong overline{ab} ) symmetric property of congruence transitive property of congruence reflexive property of congruence equality of congruence property

Explanation:

The Symmetric Property of Congruence states that if \( \overline{AB}\cong\overline{BC}\), then \( \overline{BC}\cong\overline{AB}\). The Transitive Property of Congruence is if \( \overline{AB}\cong\overline{BC}\) and \( \overline{BC}\cong\overline{CD}\), then \( \overline{AB}\cong\overline{CD}\). The Reflexive Property of Congruence is \( \overline{AB}\cong\overline{AB}\). There is no "Equality of Congruence Property" in standard geometric congruence properties.

Answer:

Symmetric Property of Congruence
