If we are trying to prove that AB = DC and AD = BC, we must first construct a diagonal. How do we know we can draw diagonal DB?
Postulate 1 (to draw a straight line from any point to any point).
If two triangles have 2 pairs of corresponding sides equal, then the third pair of sides must be equal.
False.
This is a fake SSS; we must be told that all 3 sides are equal in order for the triangles to be congruent.
