SOLUTION: Given: Parallelogram ABCD Use a two column proof to prove that angle B and angle D are congruent. I don't know if it matters, but the points are in this order: A D B C

Question 1116487: Given: Parallelogram ABCD
Use a two column proof to prove that angle B and angle D are congruent.
I don't know if it matters, but the points are in this order:
A D
B C
Thanks!

Answer by Alex.33(110) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
since AD is parallel to BC, angle A + angle B = 180 deg; (identity of Parallelograms)
since AB is parallel to CD, angle A + angle D = 180 deg; (identity of Parallelograms)
Thus, angle B and D are congruent. (obvious deduction; conclusion of the proof)

Plus, the order of endpoints does not matter, because expression 'Parallelogram ABCD' indicates that when counting endpoints in clockwise or counterclockwise direction you get A-B-C-D(OR REVERSE) instead of A-C-B-D. A must be next to B, B next to C, C next to D, etc.
