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 |
