Q. Period: Date:2. GIVEN: ABCD is a rectangle PROVE: ∠ADC≅∠BCD
Identify Properties: Identify the properties of a rectangle. In a rectangle, opposite sides are parallel and all angles are right angles (90∘).
Angle Measurements: Since ABCD is a rectangle, angle ADC and angle ABC are right angles. By definition, this means they both measure 90 degrees.
Linear Pair Relationship: If angle ADC is a right angle, then angle BCD, which is adjacent to angle ABC, must also be a right angle because they form a linear pair with angle ABC and the sum of angles in a linear pair is 180 degrees.
Congruent Right Angles: Since both angle ADC and angle BCD are right angles, they are congruent because all right angles are congruent.
