Problem

Question Given: $\overline{B A} \cong \overline{D C}, \overline{B A} \perp \overline{A D}$ and $\overline{A D} \perp \overline{D C}$. Prove: $\triangle B A D \cong \triangle C D A$. Step 1 try Statement \[ \overline{B A} \cong \overline{D C} \] \[ \begin{array}{l} \overline{B A} \perp \overline{A D} \\ \overline{A D} \perp \overline{D C} \end{array} \] Reason Given Type of Statement

Solution

Step 1 :\(\overline{BA} \cong \overline{DC}\) (Given)

Step 2 :\(\overline{BA} \perp \overline{AD}\) and \(\overline{AD} \perp \overline{DC}\) (Given)

Step 3 :\(\angle BAD = \angle CDA\) (Both are right angles, so they are congruent)

Step 4 :\(\overline{AD} \cong \overline{AD}\) (Reflexive property of congruence)

Step 5 :\(\triangle BAD \cong \triangle CDA\) (By the Hypotenuse-Leg (HL) Theorem, if a right triangle has a hypotenuse and a leg that are congruent to the hypotenuse and a leg of another right triangle, then the triangles are congruent)

Step 6 :Check: The triangles \(\triangle BAD\) and \(\triangle CDA\) are congruent, which meets the requirements of the problem
