QUESTION 3
3.1 KLMN is a parallelogram with KN || LM and LK || MN. Using the diagram above, prove the theorem which states that the opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal.
Given: KLMN is a parallelogram.
This implies that KN || LM and KL || NM.To Prove: KL = NM and KN = LM.
Construction: Draw diagonal LN.
Proof:
Consider and .- (Alternate interior angles, since KL || NM and LN is a transversal).
- (Alternate interior angles, since KN || LM and LN is a transversal).
- LN = NL (Common side to both triangles).
Therefore, (Angle-Side-Angle (ASA) congruence criterion).
Since the triangles are congruent, their corresponding sides are equal:
- KL = NM (Corresponding sides of congruent triangles)
- KN = LM (Corresponding sides of congruent triangles)
Thus, the opposite sides of parallelogram KLMN are equal.
