Tyler has written an incorrect proof to show that quadrilateral ABCD is a parallelogram. He knows segments AB and DC are congruent. He also knows angles ABC and ADC are congruent. Find the mistake in his proof.
Segment AC is congruent to itself, so triangle ABC is congruent to triangle ADC by Side-Angle-Side Triangle Congruence Theorem. Since the triangles are congruent, so are the corresponding parts, and so angle DAC is congruent to ACB. In quadrilateral ABCD, AB is congruent to CD and AD is parallel to CB. Since AD is parallel to CB, alternate interior angles DAC and BCA are congruent. Since alternate interior angles are congruent, AB must be parallel to CD. Quadrilateral ABCD must be a parallelogram since both pairs of opposite sides are parallel.

Here are some statements about 2 zigzags. Put them in order to prove figure ABC is congruent to figure DEF.
1: If necessary, reflect the image of figure ABC across DE to be sure the image of C, which we will call C', is on the same side of DE as F.
2: C' must be on ray EF since both C' and F are on the same side of DE and make the same angle with it at E.
3: Segments AB and DE are the same length so they are congruent. Therefore, there is a rigid motion that takes AB to DE. Apply that rigid motion to figure ABC.
4: Since points C' and F are the same distance along the same ray from E they have to be in the same place.
5: Therefore, figure ABC is congruent to figure DEF.
