1. Section 7.1
Sign In
From the diagram we can identify three types of angle pairs: alternate interior angles, corresponding angles and vertical angles.
See solution.
Since AD∥ EH and BF∥ CG, by the Alternate Interior Angles Theorem and Corresponding Angles Theorem we can claim that a=b and b=c. Also, by the Vertical Angles Theorem we can also claim that c=d. With this information, we have enough to complete the proof.
