Is anyone online willing to help me in Geometry?

@Hero

|dw:1332400965761:dw| If Dogs is a rectangle then DG and OS would be _______? Help, please.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

diagionals

OpenStudy (anonymous):

equal in length, DG = OS

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Two very different answers....

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

they both represent the hypotenuse of 2 congruent right triangles

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Three different answers

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

both answers are correct, you didn't specify :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there are a few facts about that question

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

my answer is giving the reasoning why dpalnc is correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i would go with dpalnc answer

OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):

Congruent bisectors.

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

hence the ambiguity of a fill in the blank question without specifying answer choices :)

OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):

Also, they would both be line segments. Because they are.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh my...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh, another question.

OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):

Bagels, what you are looking for is my first answer.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If SG=15t-2, GO=10+2, DO=9t+21 find t. Would I just set 'em all equal and figure it out?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

unparallel lines

OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):

9t+21=15t-2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So that's a "yes" inkyvoud?

OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):

No.

OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):

Sg is congruent to DO

OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):

Because the figure is a rectangle. GO is not congruent to either of the two.

OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):

Thus you only set two of them equal. GO is just to throw you off.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I feel like you're trolling me.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wouldn't you do GO instead of SG?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If they're both congruent you just need to do one, right?

Directrix (directrix):

If Dogs is a rectangle then DG and OS would be __Congruent_____ because of the theorem that diagonals of a rectangle are congruent.

Directrix (directrix):

Also, the four segments created when the diagonals of a rectangle intersect are all congruent. This is because the diagonals of a parallelogram (a rectangle is a parallelogram) bisect each other and the diagonals of a rectangle are congruent.

Directrix (directrix):

Also, the diagonals of a rectangle form two pairs of congruent triangles.
