In quadrilateral \(ABCD\), \(AD\) is congruent to \(BC\), and \(AD\) is parallel to \(BC\). Andre has written a proof to show that \(ABCD\) is a parallelogram. Fill in the blanks to complete the proof.
Since \(AD\) is parallel to \(\underline{\hspace{.5in}1\hspace{.5in}}\), alternate interior angles \(\underline{\hspace{.5in}2\hspace{.5in}}\) and \(\underline{\hspace{.5in}3\hspace{.5in}}\) are congruent. \(AC\) is congruent to \(\underline{\hspace{.5in}4\hspace{.5in}}\) since segments are congruent to themselves. Along with the given information that \(AD\) is congruent to \(BC\), triangle \(ADC\) is congruent to \(\underline{\hspace{.5in}5\hspace{.5in}}\) by the \(\underline{\hspace{.5in}6\hspace{.5in}}\) Triangle Congruence Theorem. Since the triangles are congruent, all pairs of corresponding angles are congruent, so angle \(DCA\) is congruent to \(\underline{\hspace{.5in}7\hspace{.5in}}\). Since those alternate interior angles are congruent, \(AB\) must be parallel to \(\underline{\hspace{.5in}8\hspace{.5in}}\). Since we define a parallelogram as a quadrilateral with both pairs of opposite sides parallel, \(ABCD\) is a parallelogram.
Select the statement that must be true.
Parallelograms have at least one right angle.
If a quadrilateral has opposite sides that are both congruent and parallel, then it is a parallelogram.
Parallelograms have congruent diagonals.
The height of a parallelogram is greater than the lengths of the sides.
\(EFGH\) is a parallelogram, and angle \(HEF\) is a right angle. Select all statements that must be true.
\(EFGH \) is a rectangle.
Triangle \(HEF\) is congruent to triangle \(GFH\).
Triangle \( HEF\) is congruent to triangle \(FGH\).
\(ED \) is congruent to \(HD\), \(DG\), and \(DF\).
Triangle \(EDH\) is congruent to triangle \(HDG\).
\(ABDE\) is an isosceles trapezoid. Priya makes a claim that triangle \( AEB\) is congruent to triangle \(DBE\). Convince Priya this is not true.
In quadrilateral \(ABCD\), triangle \(ADC\) is congruent to \(CBA\). Show that \(ABCD\) is a parallelogram.
