Question

how that one pair of opposite angles of the kite is congruent.

Answer 1

Think about it. What happen if we split the kite into two triangles? What are the triangles? (hint: congruent?)

Answer 2

okay but here is the question Write a 2-column, paragraph, or flow-chart proof to show that one pair of opposite angles of the kite is congruent.

Answer 3

Sorry can't do your homework for you. But here' a little diagram for you.

Answer 4

from this you should be able to conclude many thing and prove it!

Answer 5

I imagine that for this proof, you'd have to prove the 2 triangles congruent using, HL, SAS, SSS, ASA, or retriceCongruence THeorems.

Answer 6

A S S as in Angle-Side-Side THeorem

Answer 7

@Calcmathlete I'm not sure how that applies. lol though

Answer 8

i need help with two colum proof please

Answer 9

If you can prove an A stands for Angle. S stands for side. If you can prove angles and sides congruent to each other in that order, then you can declare that congruent parts are congruent because of congruent triangles.

Answer 11

There is no theorem called retrice maybe you were thinking sas?

Answer 12

lol retrice? i meant a ss

Answer 13

Maybe that'll help for the two column proof.

Answer 14

so what would the answer be then

Answer 15

A S S. retrice replaces that inappropriate word. Censored :)

Answer 16

Bigred look back at my diagram. You should see two congruent triangles

Answer 17

Remember, in congruent triangles, corresponding angles are also congruent :)

Answer 18

bigred, we can't just give you the answer and do your homework.

Answer 19

please

Answer 20

cause i do not under stand it at all

Answer 21

Bigred, remember, we split the kite into 2 congruent triangles. Tell me, what can we conclude from that?

Answer 22

the sides are congruent

Answer 23

can u please just tell me once

Answer 24

Can you give me a medal, lol

Answer 25

JK.

Answer 26

Ok bigred, since the triangles are congruent all of the corresponding angle are also congruent. Thus, we can say, looking back at the diagram, angle QRP is congruent to angle SRP

Answer 27

We can also conclude another pair are congruent, you should be able to find out that.

Answer 28

thamks

Answer 29

Can iihaz medal now

Answer 30

draw diagonal PR

1. \(\overline{PQ} \cong \overline{PS}\) ......{given, defintion of kite}
2. \(\overline{QR} \cong \overline{SR}\) ......{given, defintion of kite}
3. \(\overline{PR} \cong \overline{PR}\) ......{common side}
4. \(\triangle{PQR} \cong \triangle{PSR}\) ......{from 1,2,3. SSS- postulate}
5. \(\therefore\angle{PQR} \cong \angle{PSR}\) ......{from 4. CACTC}
