The figure below shows a kite labeled PQRS. A kite PQRS is shown with a diagonal labeled PR. Write a 2-column, paragraph, or flow-chart proof to show that angle QRP is congruent to angle SRP.

I don't know where to start, exactly. I don't know if the kite has a particular postulate or theorem that proves diagonals are congruent?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ehh geometry exam?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

haaha yeah

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ehh. great im on the test before that, could you help me?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sure. :) No problem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

k its the polygons and quadrilaterals unit test, currently a 66 in the class so i have to pass this and the exam to pass the class

The isosceles trapezoid is part of an isosceles triangle with a 34° vertex angle. What is the measure of an acute base angle of the trapezoid? Of an obtuse base angle? The diagram is not to scale.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

woaah, I don't remember learning that. I saw a similar question with a vertex of 22 and the answer was 79;101. I know they aren't the same numbers, but does that help you at all?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A 73 and 107 i figured it ou

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Good job! :)

Which diagram shows the most useful positioning of a rectangle in the first quadrant of a coordinate plane? does that look familiar? or any idea?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i need a picture haha

OpenStudy (anonymous):

k

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats a

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is there a picture in the question?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nope just the choices

OpenStudy (anonymous):

c

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y is that any more useful the b or d?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the positioning

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i see.

@kevsturge do you know of any postulates or theorems that prove diagonals in a rhombus?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

diagonals are congruent*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmmm, well|dw:1338566308400:dw| if you split the kite then you create 4 triangles with 90 degrees in the center of the kite. This bisects the kite into half the angle at the bottom of the kite
