Agardener wants to run a border around the outside of her garden. she plots it on a grid to plan how much she will need. the garden is in the shape of a rectangle with vertices at (3, 9) (5, 9) (3, 3) (5, 3). find the total length of border needed.

Given: ae ≅ ce ; de ≅ be prove: abcd is a parallelogram. we have that ab || dc. by a similar argument used to prove that △aeb ≅ △ced, we can show that △ ≅ △ceb by. so, ∠cad ≅ ∠ by cpctc. therefore, ad || bc by the converse of the theorem. since both pair of opposite sides are parallel, quadrilateral abcd is a parallelogram.
