Prove the following theorem by completing the paragraph proof: "If a quadrilateral is a parallelogram, then the opposite sides are congruent. By the ​ ​ (a)   , AB || CD and BC || AD. Let AC be the transversal of AB and DC. So ∠A ≅ ∠C and ∠B ≅ ∠D by the alternate interior angles theorem. AC ≅ AC by the​ (b)   . ΔABC ≅ ΔCDA by ​ (c)   congruence criterion. AB≅CD and BC≅AD by ​ (d)   ."
