Answer 1

I will only be writing the reasons for each and you can respond if you need clarification for anything:

1. given

2. opposite sides of a parallelogram are congruent (and a rectangle is a parallelogram so the properties apply)

3. def rectangle

4. SAS (side angle side congruence theorem)

5. CPCTC (congruent parts of congruent triangles are congruent)
