A diagonal of a parallelogram, divides it into two congruent triangles. Given: A parallelogram ABCD and AC is a diagonal, the diagonal AC divides parallelogram ABCD into two triangles △ ABC and △ CDA. To prove: These triangles △ ABD and △CDA are congruent,                        △ ABC ≅ △ CDA Proof: In △ ABC and △ CDA BC ∥ AD and AC […]
