Answer/Explanation:

Our main goal is to prove triangles DCA and triangle BCA are congruent, then by corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent say that those sides in the prove part are congruent.

Put any given down first,

Statement one: Segment BC is parallel to segment DA

Reason one: Given

Statement two: Angle BCA and angle DAC are congruent

Reason two: Alternate interior angles theorem

Now list the other given,

Statement three: Segment CD is parallel to segment AB

Reason three: Given

Statement four: Angle BAC and angle DCA are congruent

Reason four: Alternate interior angles theorem

List another thing you observe in the diagram to prove by the ASA postulate the triangles are congruent,

Statement five: Segment CA is congruent to segment CA

Reason five: Reflexive property of congruence

Statement six: Triangles DCA and BCA are congruent

Reason six: Angle - side - angle postulate

Statement seven: Segment AB is congruent to segment CD

Reason seven: CPCTC (look at underlined words with bold initials)
