Here’s how to organize the statements and reasons into a two-column proof that parallelogram ABCD is a rectangle:

Statements | Reasons --- | ---

  1. ABCD is a parallelogram. | Given
  2. DB≅AC | Given
  3. DA≅CB | Opposite sides of a parallelogram are congruent.
  4. AB≅BA | Reflexive Property of Congruence
  5. △BAD≅△ABC | SSS Congruence Theorem
  6. ∠BAD≅∠ABC | Corresponding Parts of Congruent Triangles are Congruent (CPCTC)
  7. m∠BAD = m∠ABC | Definition of congruence
  8. m∠BAD + m∠ABC = 180° | Consecutive angles of a parallelogram are supplementary
  9. m∠BAD + m∠BAD = 180° | Substitution (replacing m∠ABC with m∠BAD)
  10. 2m∠BAD = 180° | Combine like terms
  11. m∠BAD = 90° | Division Property of Equality
  12. m∠ABC = 90° | Transitive Property of Equality
  13. m∠ADC = m∠DAB = 90° | Opposite angles of a parallelogram are congruent
  14. ∠BAD, ∠DCB, ∠ABC, and ∠ADC are right angles | Definition of a right angle
  15. ABCD is a rectangle. | Definition of a rectangle

This arrangement uses the given information to show that ABCD has all the properties of a rectangle, particularly that all angles are right angles due to the congruence of the diagonals.
