Proof: If Parallelogram Then Sides Congruent
Let's prove the following theorem:
if WXYZ is a parallelogram, then distance WZ = distance XY
Proof:
Given
1 | WXYZ is a parallelogram |
---|
# | Claim | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | △ZWY ≅ △XYW | if WXYZ is a parallelogram, then △ZWY ≅ △XYW |
2 | distance ZW = distance XY | if △ZWY ≅ △XYW, then distance ZW = distance XY |
3 | distance WZ = distance XY | if distance ZW = distance XY, then distance WZ = distance XY |
