Question
triangle abc is shown, with angle bisector \\(\overline{ad}\\).
move options to the blanks to complete the proof that the base angles of an isosceles triangle are congruent.
| statement | reason |
|---|---|
| definition of angle bisector | |
| \\(\overline{ad} \cong \overline{ad}\\) | |
| \\(\triangle bad \cong \triangle cad\\) | side - angle - side |
| corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent. |
options: \\(\overline{ba} \cong \overline{ca}\\), \\(\overline{db} \cong \overline{dc}\\), \\(\angle adb \cong \angle adc\\), \\(\angle bad \cong \angle cad\\), \\(\angle b \cong \angle c\\), definition of isosceles, reflexive property, right angles are congruent.
Step1: Fill isosceles side statement
$\overline{BA} \cong \overline{CA}$
Step2: Fill isosceles side reason
Definition of isosceles
Step3: Fill angle bisector statement
$\angle BAD \cong \angle CAD$
Step4: Fill reflexive property reason
Reflexive property
Step5: Fill congruent angles statement
$\angle B \cong \angle C$
