Are triangles the congruent? write the congruency statement.what is the congruency that proves they are congruent? what is the perimeter of ∆pqr?

Given: ae ≅ ce ; de ≅ be prove: abcd is a parallelogram. we have that ab || dc. by a similar argument used to prove that △aeb ≅ △ced, we can show that △ ≅ △ceb by. so, ∠cad ≅ ∠ by cpctc. therefore, ad || bc by the converse of the theorem. since both pair of opposite sides are parallel, quadrilateral abcd is a parallelogram.

If 5x - 2 = -12, then x = a) -50 b) -4.4 c) -2.8 d) -2
