Question

Consider parallelogram ABCD.

How can it be proven that the diagonals bisect each other?  Drag tiles to the empty boxes to correctly complete each part of the proof.

AB¯ ∥DC¯¯ because it is --

AB¯¯¯¯≅ DC¯¯ because opposite sides of parallelograms are congruent. 

∠BAC≅∠DCA because they are --- angles.

∠AEB ≅∠CED because they are --- angles.

△AEB ≅△CED because ---.

BE¯ ≅ DE¯  and AE¯ ≅ CE¯ because corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent.

So, AC¯ bisects BD¯ and BD¯ bisectsAC¯ because of the definition of a segment bisector.

Answer choices ( go in the --- ) : AAS ; ASA ; SAS ; SSS ; given ; corresponding ; verticle ; alternate interior ; alternate exterior ; same-side interior.
