EXAMPLE 3 Plan a proof involving pairs of triangles
Use the given information to write a plan for proof.
GIVEN 21= 2, 23 4
3
PROVE A BCE = A DCE
Solution
In ABCE and ADCE, you know Z1= Z2 and CE = CE. If you can show that
CB = CD, you can use the SAS Congruence Postulate.
To prove that CB = CD, you can first prove that A CBA =A CDA. You are
given Z1 = 2 and Z3 = Z4. CA = CA by the Reflexive Property. You can
use the ASA Congruence Postulate to prove that A CBA = A CDA.
Plan for Proof Use the ASA Congruence Postulate to prove that
A CBA = A CDA. Then state that CB = CD. Use the SAS Congruence
Postulate to
prove
that A BCE = A DCE.
