Theorem $6-3-5$ Given: $\overline{J L}$ and $\overline{K M}$ bisect each other. Prove: $J K L M$ is a parallelogram. Plan: Show that $\triangle J N K \cong \triangle L N M$ and $\triangle K N L \cong \triangle M N J$. Then use the fact that the corresponding angles are congruent to show $J K \| L M$ and $K L \| \overline{M J}$. (FIGURE CANT COPY)

PROOF In Exercises 17 and $18,$ prove that the triangles are congruent using the ASA Congruence Theorem (Theorem 5.10 ). (See Example 2.) Given $\overline{\mathrm{AJ}} \cong \overline{\mathrm{KC}}, \angle \mathrm{BJK} \cong \angle \mathrm{BKJ}, \angle \mathrm{A} \cong \angle \mathrm{C}$ Prove $\quad \triangle A B K \cong \Delta C B J$
