Respuesta :

Answer:

Missing statement is step 4 is ΔRTS≅ΔVTU.

Step-by-step explanation:

statement 1: RT≅TV

reason: Given

statement 2: . ∠RTS and ∠VTU are verticle angles.

reason: definition of vertical angles.

statement 3. ∠RTS ≅ ∠VTU

reason: vertical angles are congruent

statement 4: ΔRTS≅ΔVTU

reason: by using SAS congruency theorem.

So, the missing statement in step 4 is ΔRTS≅ΔVTU.


The correct statement is that the quadrilateral RSVU is a parallelogram.

What is a parallelogram?

It is a polygon that has four sides and four corners. The sum of the internal angle is 360 degrees. In a parallelogram, pairs of opposite sides are parallel and equal.

Given

RT ≅ TV and ST ≅ TU

Prove

RSVU is a parallelogram.

How to prove?

Let RSVU is quadrilateral.

1.  RT ≅ TU and ST ≅ TU, means half of the diagonal.

2. ∠RTS and ∠VTU are vertically opposite angles, ∠RTU and ∠VTS are vertically opposite angles.

3.  ∠RTS and ∠VTU are vertically opposite angles, ∠RTU and ∠VTS are vertically opposite angles.

4.  Then according to Side, angle, and side theorem it is clear that both triangles are congruent to each other.

5.  ∠VRS ≅ ∠RVU are alternate angles, ∠USR ≅ ∠SUV are alternate angles, ∠VRU ≅ ∠RVS are alternate angles, ∠RUS ≅ ∠USV are alternate angles.

6.  When two lines are parallel to each other then a line is passing through these lines then it will make alternate angles.

7.  Converse of the parallelogram diagonal theorem

8. RSVU is a parallelogram.
