omnomnom · Answer

Need both indirect and direct prooof

anonymous · Answer

and a diagram :)

omnomnom · Answer

Should i make a diagram... cuz there isnt one

anonymous · Answer

I mean a pic or drawing of the figure.

omnomnom · Answer

oh..... idk im supposed to do both direct and indirect proofs'

anonymous · Answer

the direct proof is 

Given: LM=MN   <-this
Prove: LM(Segment) is congruent to MN (segment)

It is odd because we dont even know what kind of figure you mean. Is it a triangle?

omnomnom · Answer

hm.... i dont think so i think they are lie segments like M could be the midpoint or something

anonymous · Answer

well there are a lot of probabilities i am stuck here lol.

omnomnom · Answer

just do the midpoint thingy make our life eaiser -_-

anonymous · Answer

well using this definition http://www.icoachmath.com/math_dictionary/Indirect_Proof.html LM=MN given 2LM not= 2MN not= LM+MN Something like that right?

anonymous · Answer

If LM=MN  then   2LM= 2MN     = LM + MN  

and 
2LM not= 2MN not= LM+MN    would be an inpossibility.

omnomnom · Answer

HMM,,,,,O.o im confused
