A student made the table shown below to prove that PQ is equal to RQ.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

SQ = TQ Given m∡SQP = m∡TQR Given m∡RSQ = m∡PTQ Given m∡SQR = m∡SQP + m∡PQR Angle Addition Postulate m∡TQP = m∡TQR + m∡PQR Angle Addition Postulate m∡TQP = m∡SQP + m∡PQR Substitution m∡SQR = m∡TQP Transitive Property PQ = RQ CPCTC

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A. Provide the missing statement and justification in the proof. B. Using complete sentences, explain why the proof would not work without the missing step.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ESSAY SUBMISSION a. SQ= TQ, angle SQR= angle TQP, and PQ=RQ by the SAS postulate. b. Without the eight step, we could not really verify for sure whether these sides and angle were congruent without the SAS postulate.?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

tips?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Drawing.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there's the drawing delivered by Papa Johns Pizza Geocenter

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok, first of all, in order to use CPCTC, what would you first have to prove?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That all of the sides and angles are congruent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well sorta correct. CPCTC stands for Congruent Parts of CONGRUENT TRIANGLES are congruent. *Hint hint *nudge nudge *wink wink

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Congruent sides!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok, all of this stuff you're blurting out works because of this. You have to prove that the triangles are congruent first.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

interesting indeed

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ehh, SQ=TQ, PQ=RQ...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, all that is done for you. Review the proof and look for why the triangles are congruent.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

m∡SQR = m∡TQP?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No. Which of these works? ASA SSS SAS HL AAS?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

SAS?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Nope.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ehhh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

SSS?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nope

OpenStudy (anonymous):

AAS?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Nope

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ASA?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wow...you didn't learn HL, so technically you picked the last possible answer...yes it's correct.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So with that, fill in the missing statement and reason.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so, HL is correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No. ASA

OpenStudy (anonymous):

k

OpenStudy (anonymous):

k

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so ASA

OpenStudy (anonymous):

why is it right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Fill in the missing statement and reason using this. Remember, this is a two column proof, so the statement and reason has to be separate.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So the reason is ASA...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

m∡SQP = m∡TQR

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and

OpenStudy (anonymous):

SQ = TQ

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and

OpenStudy (anonymous):

m∡SQR = m∡TQP

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Am I right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

NOPE. ALL THAT IS INCORRECT. CAPS LOCK INITIATED!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

...OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

OpenStudy (anonymous):

K

OpenStudy (anonymous):

THIS STATEMENT SHOULD BE FINISHING UP PROVING THE TRIANGLES CONGRUENT.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Give me at least two out of the third things

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You already have everything you need and it's only 1 thing, so I can't give you anything.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

PQ=RQ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is that it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

RQP=PQR?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Face palm...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

face palm...?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[TRIANGLE \space RSQ \cong TRIANGLE \space TSQ\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

SEE? I DID IT I ALL CAPS! lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

WOW!!!!!!11111111111111111111111111111111111111

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah. Whenever you have something like ASA or SSS, the statement is saying that the triangles are congruent.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

WOW...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So you found ASA because...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

two of the angles were congruent and one of the sides were congruent?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

*two of the angles were congruent and the included side was congruent

OpenStudy (anonymous):

TSQ and RSQ

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ehh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

could you draw em for me or point them out?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oops. \[\triangle RSQ \cong \triangle PTQ\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I AM GETTING BETTER AT CODING USING THE EQUATION EDITOR! YAY!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

One has an S in the middle while the other has a T in the middle...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah. I mistyped it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ehh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

could you point them out for me?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What do you mean? Bring up the drawing and the proof and see how everything works. I can't really s\point them out unfortunately.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ahh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I see

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok, next beast coming up

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this is the last beast

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Btw, you left this statement out of the previous problem's answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

In your previous question, you needed 3 statements and you only had 2. Plus, in this question, you forgot to answer B unless you did.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

k...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

next beast coming right up
