Given: ┳ABC, BD bisects ∠ABC, BD ∥ AC Prove: AB ≅ CB Statements: 1. ∠ABD = ∠CBD (BD bisects ∠ABC) 2. ∠ABD = ∠ACB (alternate interior angles) 3. ∠CBD = ∠ACB (corresponding angles) 4. ∠ABD = ∠CBD = ∠ACB (transitive property) 5. ∠ABC = ∠ACB + ∠CBD (angle addition postulate) 6. ∠ABC = ∠ABD + ∠CBD (substitution) 7. ∠ABC = ∠ABD + ∠ABD (transitive property) 8. ∠ABC = 2∠ABD 9. ∠ABC = 2∠CBD 10. ∠ABC = 2∠ACB 11. AB = CB (converse of the angle bisector theorem) Proven: AB = CB Given: AD bisects BC at E: AB ∥ BC, DC ∥ BC Prove: AB ≅ DC Statements: 1. ∠ADE = ∠CDE (AD bisects BC) 2. ∠ADE = ∠ABC (alternate interior angles) 3. ∠CDE = ∠ABC (corresponding angles) 4. ∠ADE = ∠CDE = ∠ABC (transitive property) 5. ∠ADC = ∠ABC + ∠CDE (angle addition postulate) 6. ∠ADC = ∠ADE + ∠CDE (substitution) 7. ∠ADC = ∠ADE + ∠ADE (transitive property) 8. ∠ADC = 2∠ADE 9. ∠ADC = 2∠CDE 10. ∠ADC = 2∠ABC 11. AB = DC (converse of the angle bisector theorem) Proven: AB = DC
