Question
I have to prove it by doing a statement and reason chart, as seen below.

Transcribed Image Text:**Proving Parallelograms: Example Problem**
In this example, we are given certain angle relationships and are asked to prove that a quadrilateral is a parallelogram based on these relationships.
**Problem Statement:**
Given:
1. \( \angle A \) and \( \angle B \) are supplementary.
2. \( \angle A \) is adjacent to \( \angle D \).
To Prove: \( ABCD \) is a parallelogram, given that \( AB \cong CD \) (AB is congruent to CD).
**Diagram Explanation:**
On the right side of the notebook sheet, there is a diagram of the quadrilateral ABCD. Here is a breakdown of the diagram:
- Quadrilateral \(ABCD\) is drawn, indicating points \(A\), \(B\), \(C\), and \(D\).
- Sides \(AB\) and \(CD\) are marked to indicate that they are equal in length (denoted by the congruency symbol \( \cong \)).
**Proof Structure:**
A two-column proof structure will be used to demonstrate this mathematical proof. The two columns will be labeled "Statement" and "Reason" respectively.
```
| Statement | Reason |
|-----------|--------|
| 1) | 1) given |
```
**Explanation:**
1. The given information forms the basis of the proof.
2. \( \angle A \) and \( \angle B \) are supplementary, meaning their sum is 180 degrees.
3. \( \angle A \) is adjacent to \( \angle D \).
Using these angle relationships and the property that opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal in length, we will show that \( ABCD \) must be a parallelogram.
**Note:**
This problem and proof are intended for educational purposes to illustrate how angle and side relationships can be used to determine that a quadrilateral is a parallelogram. Further steps and justifications (not shown here) would complete the proof in a typical classroom setting.
