Answer:

The answer is given below

Explanation:

Statement Reason

Triangle ACD is isosceles Given

<1 = <3 Given that <1 is congruent to <3

∠3 = ∠4 Base angles of an isosceles

. triangle is equal

∠1 = ∠4 By substitution, since ∠1 = ∠3

. and ∠3 = ∠4, therefore ∠1 = ∠4

Segment AB || Segment CD Alternate interior angle theorem . Since ∠1 = ∠4 (alternate

, interior angles)

Alternate interior angle theorem states that if two lines and a transversal line form alternate interior angles that are equal, then the two lines are parallel to each other.

AB and CD and transversal AD form alternate interior angles (∠1 and ∠4), therefore AB and CD are parallel
