The odometer on your car read 53,305 at this time last year. It now reads 79,964. Estimate the number of miles your car has been driven during the past year. (Estimate to the nearest thousand miles.)

26659

Step-by-step explanation:

subtracting the recent meter and the last time meter

(C) Base angle theorem

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: JKLM is an isosceles trapezoid, KL ∥ JM  

Prove: KM ≅ JL

Proof:

Statements                                                                 Reasons

1. JKLM is an isosceles trapezoid, KL ∥ JM               Given

2. JK ≅ LM                                                definition of isosceles trapezoid

3.  KL ≅ KL                                                          reflexive property

4. ∠JKL ≅ ∠MLK                                          Base angle theorem (base=LK)

5. △JKL ≅ △MLK                                                       SAS rule

6. KM ≅ JL                                                                  CPCTC  

Hence proved.

therefore, option C is correct.
