Studdy Solution

STEP 1

1. A\angle A and C\angle C are right angles.
2. ABCD\overline{A B} \cong \overline{C D}.
3. We need to prove ABDCDB\triangle A B D \cong \triangle C D B.

STEP 2

1. Identify the given information.
2. Determine the type of triangles.
3. Use properties of congruence.
4. Apply a congruence theorem to prove triangle congruence.

STEP 3

Identify the given information:
1. A\angle A and C\angle C are right angles; ABCD\overline{A B} \cong \overline{C D}.
Reason: Given

STEP 4

Determine the type of triangles:
2. ABD\triangle A B D and CDB\triangle C D B are right triangles.
Reason: Definition of right triangle

STEP 5

Use properties of congruence:
3. BDDB\overline{B D} \cong \overline{D B}
Reason: Reflexive Property of Congruence

STEP 6

Apply a congruence theorem to prove triangle congruence:
4. ABDCDB\triangle A B D \cong \triangle C D B
Reason: HL Theorem
The proof is complete.
