Question

PLEASE HELP!!!! A student solved the following problem and made an error.
In which line did the student make the first mistake? Line 1: AC=2, DF=2 AC ≅ DF Line 2: ∠A ≅ ∠F Line 3: Length of AB A(0,2) B(2,4) AB=2.83 (Pic inserted)
Line 4: Length of DF.
D (2, 0)
F (4, 2) DF=2.83 (pic inserted) Line 5: AB ≅ DF & Line 6: ABC ≅ FDE

Answer 1

Line 3-

Answer 2

Line 4-

Answer 3

How do we know that Line 2 is correct?

Answer 4

Sorry , because of this....

Answer 5

sarahc... i want to say something. is it given that AC congruent to DF or you are saying this by seeing figure?

Answer 6

I was saying that by seeing the figure.

Answer 7

so it is wrong. look in your calculation .
one side you say,
Line 1: AC=2, DF=2 AC ≅ DF

and then you say AB=2.83 and DF=2.83.

How DF = AB and AC (both in one time?)

Answer 8

If you are going to prove both triangles equal then i can prove it here.

Answer 9

@sarahc is that clear to you madam?

Answer 10
