What is the correct order of reasons to complete the proof??

Choice B

I, I, V, II

Explanation:

When doing any proofs, we always repeat what is given to us. In this case, the given statements are

It seems weirdly redundant to repeat these statements back to the teacher, but this is how all proofs start off. You state what is given and the reason is simply "given". So far the answer is narrowed down to choice B or choice C, due to the "statement I" listed twice like that.

From those statements, we build toward what we want to prove. Those two given statements tell us we have two pairs of congruent sides. If we could prove a third pair of sides are congruent, then we can use SSS which stands for "side side side". It turns out that we are more or less automatically given the third pair of sides in the form QR = QR, which is true by the reflexive property. This property says that any segment is congruent to itself. So we'll have statement V listed after statement I twice. The sequence so far is I, I, V. At this point, we can conclude that choice B must be the final answer. Sure enough, statement II involves SSS just like mentioned earlier.

step-by-step explanation:

answer: the resulting cross section is a rectangle. solution: a plane parallel to the base of a triangular prism will intersect a cross section that is the same shape as its bases. so the cross section is a triangle.
