Solution
To solve this problem, let’s analyze the given information and apply angle relationships in parallel lines and parallelograms:
Given:
- ∠1 ≅ ∠4
- ∠2 ≅ ∠3
To Prove:
∠3 ≅ ∠4
Explanation:
-
Notice that the figure resembles a parallelogram (ABCD), where opposite sides are parallel. In a parallelogram, opposite angles are congruent.
-
Since ∠1 ≅ ∠4, they are corresponding angles on parallel lines intersected by a transversal (line BD). This tells us that line AD is parallel to line BC.
-
Similarly, ∠2 ≅ ∠3 are alternate interior angles created by transversal line DB across parallel lines AD and BC. This means ∠2 and ∠3 are equal because parallel lines produce equal alternate interior angles.
-
Using transitivity, since ∠1 ≅ ∠4 and ∠2 ≅ ∠3, it follows that ∠3 ≅ ∠4 because they both equal the corresponding angles ∠1 and ∠2.
Conclusion:
Thus, ∠3 ≅ ∠4 is proven by properties of parallel lines and congruent angles in a parallelogram.
