Question 1120287: In a word processing document or on a separate piece of paper, use the guide to construct a two column proof proving AEC ≅ DEB, given that CA is parallel to DB and E is the midpoint of AD. Submit the entire proof to your instructor.
Given:
CA || DB
E is the midpoint of AD
Prove:
AEC ≅ DEB

STATEMENT REASON
1. CA || DB
E is the midpoint of AD 1.
2. 2.
3. 3. Definition of Midpoint
4. AEC ≅ DEB 4.

I'm assuming your diagram resembles this:

You can format your proof any way you like.

Segment AE is congruent to Segment ED by definition of Midpoint.

Angle CAE congruent to Angle BDE by Opposite Interior Angles of a Transversal

Angle AEC congruent to Angle BED by Vertical Angles

Therefore Triangle ACE congruent to Triangle BDE by ASA
