Question

May someone help me with a geometry question please? The question is attached in the file.

Answer 1

Try attaching it in a response, we don't see the file.

Answer 2

There is a graph involved, but it'll get all jumbled up, as soon as I put in in word form. Then not many people can understand it.

Answer 3

Look at the rhombus ABCD.




Maddox made the following table to prove that diagonal AC of rhombus ABCD bisects its angles.

Statements

Justifications

1.ABCD is a Rhombus

1.Given

2. AB = BC = CD = DA

2. CPCTC

3. AC = AC

3.reflexive property

4. Triangle ABC is congruent to triangle ACD

4. SSS postulate

5. Angle BAC = angle DAC, angle BCA = angle DCA

5. definition of rhombus



Which two justifications did Maddox interchange while making the table?

Justification 2 and Justification 3

Justification 4 and Justification 5

Justification 3 and Justification 4

Justification 2 and Justification 5

Answer 4

And that's the problem.

Answer 5

first cannot change for sure

Answer 6

look closely at second justification

Answer 7

yes.... so is it the second and third?

Answer 8

it doesnt fit there. all sides are congruent is a definition of rhombus. its not CPCTC

Answer 9

so... ?

Answer 10

hmm...

Answer 11

I would say justification 2 and 4, but that isn't an option.....

Answer 12

4th justification is correct. it wont change. as triangles are congruent by SSS

Answer 13

third is also correct.
a=a is a reflexive property

Answer 14

So it's the third option?

Answer 15

we just justified 3rd and 4th are good :)

Answer 16

you need to switch 2nd and 5th

Answer 17

ok.....
