Prove the following theorem by completing the paragraph proof: "If a quadrilateral is a parallelogram, then the opposite sides are congruent.
By the (a) , AB || CD and BC || AD. Let AC be the transversal of AB and DC. So ∠A ≅ ∠C and ∠B ≅ ∠D by the alternate interior angles theorem. AC ≅ AC by the (b) . ΔABC ≅ ΔCDA by (c) congruence criterion. AB≅CD and BC≅AD by (d) ."
