Answer:
To Prove: Quadrilateral ABCD is a parallelogram.
Proof: In Δ ABE and ΔCDE
1. AE = EC and BE = ED [ Diagonals bisect each other]
2.∠ AEB = ∠ CED [ vertically opposite angles]
Δ ABE ≅ ΔCDE---------- [SAS]
∠ ACD ≅ ∠CAB [Corresponding angles of congruent triangles are congruent⇒This statement is untrue ∴ these are alternate interior angles not corresponding angles.]
6. The converse of alternate interior interior angle theorem states that if two parallel lines are cut by a transversal then alternate interior angles are equal.
7. In ΔBEC and ΔAED
∠BEC = ∠AED [ Vertical Angles Theorem ]
AE = EC and BE = ED [ Diagonals bisect each other]
⇒ ΔBEC≅ ΔDEA [ SAS criterion for congruence]
9. DBC ≅ BDA [ Corresponding angles of congruent triangles are congruent⇒This statement is untrue ∴ these are alternate interior angles not corresponding angles.]
As pair of triangles are congruent ∵ quadrilateral ABCD is a parallelogram.
Step 3 is m∠AEB = m∠CED
These pair of angles are vertically opposite angles of ΔAEB and ΔCED.
Option [D. Vertical Angles Theorem] is correct.
