Math Problem Statement
what the congruence statement
Solution
The image shows a parallelogram with two diagonals drawn, forming triangles within the shape. To determine the congruence statement for the triangles formed by the diagonals, let's analyze the figure.
Congruence Statement:
The triangles formed by the diagonals of a parallelogram are congruent to each other.
If the parallelogram is labeled as with diagonals and , the triangles and are congruent. This is due to the fact that:
- is congruent to (opposite sides of a parallelogram are congruent).
- is congruent to (opposite sides of a parallelogram are congruent).
- is the same in both triangles (common side).
Therefore, the congruence statement is:
