Respuesta :

B. Opposite interior angles of a parallelogram are congruent.

Answer:

Opposite interior angles of a parallelogram are congruent.

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer this question let's do it step by step. So step

1) Consider the parallelogram GDEF

2) Trace a straight line, since two points define a line. Trace [tex]\overline{GE}[/tex] and another [tex]\overline{DF}[/tex]

3) Consider these pair of parallel segments:

[tex]\overline{GD}\parallel \overline{EF}\\\overline{DE}\parallel\overline{GF}[/tex]

4) Now let's examine the angles. According to Euclides since DE and GF are parallels we can say that:

[tex]\angle \alpha \cong \angle \gamma \\\ \angle \beta \cong \angle \delta[/tex]

5) This step is the conclusion of the previous one, since alternate interior angles have the same measure, so

[tex]\angle \alpha +\angle \beta \cong \angle \gamma +\angle \delta[/tex]

Opposite interior angles of a parallelogram are congruent.
