Question

2 finish the triangle proof by dragging the correct reasons to their box. there will be two extra unused reasons! given: ( jkcong lm ), ( klcong mj ) prove: ( angle jlmcongangle ljk )

Explanation:

Step1: Fill in the first three statements

  1. \(JK\cong LM\) (Given)
  2. \(KL\cong MJ\) (Given)
  3. \(JL = JL\) (Reflexive Property)

Step2: Prove triangle congruence

  1. \(\triangle JKL\cong\triangle LMJ\) (SSS, since \(JK\cong LM\), \(KL\cong MJ\), \(JL = JL\))

Step3: Use CPCTC

  1. \(\angle JLM\cong\angle LJK\) (CPCTC, Corresponding Parts of Congruent Triangles are Congruent)

Answer:

  1. \(JK\cong LM\), Given
  2. \(KL\cong MJ\), Given
  3. \(JL = JL\), Reflexive Property
  4. \(\triangle JKL\cong\triangle LMJ\), SSS
  5. \(\angle JLM\cong\angle LJK\), CPCTC
