Answer:
- all right angles are congruent.
- opposite sides of a parallelogram are congruent
- SAS congruence postulate
- corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : Parallelogram JKLM is a rectangle and by the definition of rectangle, [tex]\angle{JML}=\text{ and }\angle{KLM}[/tex] are right angles,
Since all interior angles of rectangle are right angle.
then [tex]\Rightarrow\angle{JML}\cong\angle{KLM}[/tex], because all right angles are congruent.
Also, opposite sides of a parallelogram are congruent.
[tex] \overline{JM}\cong\overline{KL}[/tex]
and [tex]\overline{ML}\cong\overline{ML}[/tex] by the reflexive property of congruence.
Now, by the SAS congruence postulate,
[tex]\triangle{JML}\cong\triangl{KLM}[/tex],
Since corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent, ∴
[tex]\overline{JL}\cong\overline{MK}[/tex]
- The SAS postulate says that if two sides and the included angle of a triangle are congruent to two sides and the included angle of another triangle then the two triangles are congruent.
