1. ∠CDA2. △BDA
Explanation
The question asks to prove that AC ≅ DB given certain geometric relationships and theorems.1. The statement begins with an assumption that ∠BAD ≅ ∠___ by the Alternate Interior Angles Theorem. The correct angle to compare with ∠BAD under this theorem would be ∠CDA, as these angles are alternate interior angles if lines AC and DB are cut by a transversal.2. The statement then mentions AD ≅ AD by the Reflexive Property of Segment Congruence, which is a valid statement as any segment is congruent to itself.3. The conclusion states that △ACD ≅ △___ by the Congruence Theorem. To determine the congruent triangle and the correct congruence theorem, we must consider the information given. We have two pairs of congruent angles (∠BAD ≅ ∠CDA and ∠DAC ≅ ∠DAC) and a common side (AD ≅ AD). This matches the criteria for the Angle-Angle-Side (AAS) Congruence Theorem, indicating that △ACD ≅ △BDA.4. Finally, since corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent, AC ≅ DB.Therefore, the correct fill-ins for the blanks are: - ∠CDA for the first blank, as it is the angle congruent to ∠BAD by the Alternate Interior Angles Theorem.- △BDA for the second blank, as it is the triangle congruent to △ACD by the AAS Congruence Theorem.
