Prove the converse of the statement in Exercise 5: If both pairs of opposite sides of a quadrilateral are congruent, then they are also parallel.

Given:SK¯≅NR¯;SN¯≅KR¯

Prove:SK¯∥NR¯;SN¯∥KR¯

Short Answer

Expert verified

Statement

Reason

1.SK¯≅NR¯

Given

2.SR¯≅SR¯

Common line segment

3.SN¯≅KR¯

Given

4.ΔSNR≅ΔRKS

SSS congruency criteria

5.∠1≅∠3;∠2≅∠4

corresponding parts of congruent triangle are congruent

6.SK¯∥NR¯;SN¯∥KR¯

When alternate interior angles are congruent then lines are parallel

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Show that ΔSNR≅ΔRKS.

Since SR¯≅SR¯, as it is common line in both triangles

Also, using given

Thus,ΔSNR≅ΔRKS by SSS (Side-Side-Side) congruency criteria

02

Step 2. Show that ∠1≅∠3; ∠2≅∠4.

Since, corresponding parts of congruent triangle are congruent

Thus,∠1≅∠3;∠2≅∠4

03

Step 3. Show that SK¯∥NR¯; SN¯∥KR¯.

From figure,∠1−∠3 and∠2−∠4 forms pairs of alternate interior angles

When transversal line intersect two lines such that alternate interior angles are congruent then two lines are parallel.

Thus,SK¯∥NR¯;SN¯∥KR¯1
