Practice and Problem Solving: Modified
Use the figure for Exercises 1–4. Determine whether each conclusion
is valid. Then fill in the blanks to make a true statement. The first one
has been done for you.
1. Given: AC ⊥ BD, AB ≅ BC
Conclusion: ABCD is a rhombus.
The conclusion is valid. When diagonals of a parallelogram are perpendicular,
the parallelogram must be a rhombus.
2. Given: AB || DC, AD ≅ BC, AC ≅ BD
The conclusion is _____. You need to know that _____ and AD are _________________ .
4. Given: AB ≅ DC, AD ≅ BC, m∠ADB = m∠ABD = 45°
Conclusion: ABCD is a square.
The conclusion is _____. You need to know that AC and _____ are _________________ .
Complete Exercises 5–8 to show that the conclusion is valid. The first
one has been done for you.
Given: JK ≅ ML, JM ≅ KL, and JK ≅ KL.
Conclusion: JKLM is a square.
5. Because JK ≅ ML and JM ≅ KL, JKLM is a parallelogram.
6. Because JKLM is a parallelogram and ∠M is a right angle, JKLM is a
