Chapter 5 - Section 5.3 - Proving Lines Parallel - Exercises - Page 233: 33

Answer

The proof is in the following form: Column 1 of proof; Column 2 of proof. Thus, we have: 1. AB is parallel to DF, and BD is parallel to FG; Given 2. A is congruent to GEF; When parallel lines are cut by a transversal, corresponding angles are congruent. 3. G is congruent to BCA; When parallel lines are cut by a transversal, corresponding angles are congruent. 4. Triangle ABC is congruent to triangle EFG; AA

Work Step by Step

1- Given $\overline{AB} \parallel \overline{DF} $ 2- $\angle A = \angle E $ ( corresponding angles of two parallel lines cut by a transversal are congruent ) 3- Given $ \overline{BD} \parallel \overline{FG} $ 4- $ \angle ABC = \angle EFG $ by the same Reason as step two. 5- $ \triangle ABC \triangle EFG $ are similar by AA
