standard_description: Prove theorems about lines and angles. Theorems include: vertical angles are congruent; when a transversal crosses parallel lines, alternate interior angles are congruent and corresponding angles are congruent; points on a perpendicular bisector of a line segment are exactly those equidistant from the segment’s endpoints.
problem_activity: Task
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 $|CD| = |AB|$, $\overleftrightarrow{CD}$ is parallel to $\overleftrightarrow{AB}$, and $ABCD$ is a quadrilateral.
Draw a picture of this situation and
show that $ABCD$ is a parallelogram.
