Given: XY || ZW
Prove: AXYV - AZWV
Use the drop-down menus to complete the paragraph
proof.
We are given that XY is parallel to ZW. If XZ is a
transversal that intercepts XY and ZW, angle
and angle are alternate interior angles. Since
XY is parallel to ZW, we know that these angles are
. We also know that angle XVY and angle
ZVW are
angles, and thus
congruent. We can conclude that AXYV - AZWV
using the similarity theorem.
