The proof that ΔABC ≅ ΔCDA is shown.
Given: ∥ Line segment A B is parallel to line segment C D and Line segment B C is parallel to line segment D A ∥
Prove: ΔABC ≅ ΔCDA
Parallelogram A B C D is shown. A line is drawn from point A to point C to form 2 triangles.
What is the missing reason in the proof?
