Math Problem Statement

如图,已知∠1 = ∠2,∠DGA + ∠BAC = 180°. 求证 EF // AD.

Solution

Let’s analyze the problem step by step and solve it.

The problem requires proving EFADEF \parallel AD. Here's how to complete the proof based on the given diagram and statements:


Proof:

  1. DGA+BAC=180\angle DGA + \angle BAC = 180^\circ (Given).

    Since ABCDAB \parallel CD (assumed), 1=3\angle 1 = \angle 3 by alternate interior angles.
    Reason: Alternate interior angles are equal when two lines are parallel.

  2. 1=2\angle 1 = \angle 2 (Given).

    From the transitive property, 2=3\angle 2 = \angle 3.
    Reason: Transitive property of angle equality.

  3. EFADEF \parallel AD.

    Since 2=3\angle 2 = \angle 3, the lines EFEF and ADAD are parallel by the corresponding angles postulate.
    Reason: Corresponding angles are equal when two lines are parallel.


Complete Statements for the Table:

  1. DGA+BAC=180\angle DGA + \angle BAC = 180^\circ (Given).
  2. ABCDAB \parallel CD 1=3\Rightarrow \angle 1 = \angle 3 (Alternate interior angles).
  3. 1=2\angle 1 = \angle 2 (Given).
  4. 2=3\angle 2 = \angle 3 (Transitive property of equality).
  5. EFADEF \parallel AD (Corresponding angles postulate).

Would you like me to explain any step further or assist with related problems? Here are 5 questions to deepen understanding:

  1. Why does the transitive property apply in step 4 of the proof?
  2. How do alternate interior angles help prove parallel lines?
  3. What is the role of corresponding angles in determining parallelism?
  4. How does the relationship DGA+BAC=180\angle DGA + \angle BAC = 180^\circ influence the proof?
  5. Can this method be applied to other triangle configurations?

Tip: Always check for parallel lines using angle relationships like alternate interior or corresponding angles!
