standard_description: Develop definitions of rotations, reflections, and translations in terms of angles, circles, perpendicular lines, parallel lines, and line segments.
problem_activity: Suppose
$${{\overline{AB}}}$$
is a line segment and
D
is a point not on
$${{\overline{AB}}}$$
as pictured below.
[IMG]
Let
C
be the point so that
$${CD=AB}$$
,
$${\overleftrightarrow {CD} \parallel \overleftrightarrow {AB}}$$
and
ABCD
is a quadrilateral.
Draw
$${\overline {CD}}$$
using constructions.
Explain how you know that
$${\overleftrightarrow {CA} \parallel \overleftrightarrow {DB}}$$
.
