Question

Please help with this two-column proof. Just fill in the statements and reasons in the missing blanks. *There is an example of how it looks like when it is done in the second picture.*

The proof is in the picture. **This is about proving the triangle true, not about writing essay.**

*Maybe, if you think those reasons below suit the statements, you can use it.* (Those below are the reasons you can use to prove the statements true if you think it is suited for it.)

An inscribed angle = 1/2 the intercepted arc

If 4 quantities are in proportion, then like powers are in proportion.

Pythagorean Theorem

If 2 angles have their sides perpendicular, right side to right side and left side to left side, the angles are equal.

In a series of equal ratios, the sum of the antecedents is to the sum of the consequents as any antecedent is to its consequent.

In any proportion the product of the means equals the product of the extremes.

Angles inscribed in the same segment or equal segments are equal.

If a line is drawn parallel to the base of a triangle, it cuts off a triangle similar to the given triangle.

Two isosceles triangles are similar if any angle of one equals the corresponding angle of the other.
