This video tutorial explains how to prove the properties of diagonals within parallelograms and rectangles using parallel lines and triangle congruence theorems. It covers the angle-side-angle and side-angle-side congruence theorems, demonstrating how diagonals bisect each other in parallelograms and are congruent in rectangles. The lesson includes converting these proofs into a two-column format and emphasizes that congruent diagonals in parallelograms indicate a rectangle.

What property of parallel lines is used to prove that alternate interior angles are congruent?

• Transitive Property

• Corresponding Angles Postulate

• Reflexive Property

• Alternate Interior Angles Theorem

Which congruence theorem states that two triangles are congruent if two angles and the included side are congruent?

• Side-Angle-Side (SAS)

• Angle-Side-Angle (ASA)

• Angle-Angle-Side (AAS)

• Side-Side-Side (SSS)

What theorem is used to prove that two triangles are congruent if two sides and the included angle are congruent?
