Question
the following is the proof of the base angles theorem. fill in the blank with the correct statement.
proof:
- given isosceles △abc with $overline{ab}congoverline{bc}$, i can construct $overleftrightarrow{bd}$, the angle bisector of ∠b.
2.
- i also know that line segments are congruent to themselves, so $overline{bd}congoverline{bd}$ by the reflexive property of congruence.
- i now have two pairs of sides and an included angle that are congruent, so i know that △abd≅△cbd by the sas congruence theorem.
- finally, corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent by the cpctc theorem, so ∠a≅∠c.

Step1: Recall angle - bisector property
Since $\overrightarrow{BD}$ is the angle - bisector of $\angle B$, we have $\angle ABD\cong\angle CBD$.
