It's ok.. do you know some that does?

OpenStudy (faman39):

ok, i will try to find help for u , ok :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:D ok

If you prove Angle SPR equals angle RPQ then would you agree that the bisector did indeed bisect Angle SPQ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Suure lol can you explain that a lil futher please lol

OpenStudy (radar):

Bisect the angle means dividing it into two equal parts. Now does my original post make sense? Read it carefully.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Lol i understood your first post lol... i meant how do you prove angle SPR = RPQ?

OpenStudy (radar):

Do you also agree segments PS = PQ by definition of a square?

OpenStudy (radar):

and furthermore, segments ST and QT are equal as is indicated equal by the drawing.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, to the square. And yes to the other one too

OpenStudy (radar):

Segment PT = Segment PT as it is the same, and the segment is a side of each of the triangles (common to both). There fore the two triangles are congruent by the SSS rule.

OpenStudy (radar):

Triangle PTS is congruent to triangle PTQ.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok ok i get it now

OpenStudy (radar):

SSS is side, side, side. Great you say you have. the two angles that make angle SPQ are corresponding angles of two congruent triangles.

OpenStudy (radar):

This applies to all the corners just different labels.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thanks :)
