cpctc
definition of a parallelogram
Brief Explanations
CPCTC (Corresponding - Parts of Congruent Triangles are Congruent) is used when we have already proven two triangles congruent (in step 5, $\triangle CAD\cong\triangle ACB$) and we want to show that corresponding sides (in this case $\overline{AB}\cong\overline{CD}$) are congruent.
