Alex opens a 1-pint container of orange butter. he spreads 1/16of the butter on his bread. the he divides the rest of the butter into 3/4-pint containers. how many 3/4-pint containers is he able to fill?

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.
