I need help with this...

Some reminders: the sum of the measures of supplementary angles is always 180. If two things are equal to the same thing they are equal to one another. Do you follow?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No....Dx This is confusing the hell out of me :| I'm 19 lessons behind cause of this.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Whoa. Well. A paragraph proof is just like any other paragraph except that it's written for and by mathematicians: it develops a point like a thesis statement. You need to memorize the rules and learn to be a careful examiner of geometric figures. You need to practice each concept till you've got, if you're as far behind as you say; geometry is a very cumulative subject. I think I'll just show you the solution to this proof.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh. and yeah... I'm getting very far behind... I've had 3 tests today in this subject. and okay.

Rule: if two angles A and B are supplementary, mA+mB=180. Complementary angles are similar, but their sum is 90. To remember that, just keep in mind that "c" comes before "s" just as "90" precedes "180". Postulate: if A+B=C and D+E=C, A+B=D+E. Makes sense, right? Rule: Congruent angles have the same measure.

Three tests? Were you sick for a month?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Kinda... and no... This school is very gay and makes you do a report then like 2 tests and it's very frustrating >.<

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh, that's too bad.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

As it is, I just supplied most of the answers. A and b are 180, c is the equality postulate (dear to the heart of Euclid) and d is measure of angle three, Be warned that this is only the beginning: eventually you might encounter proofs which require ten minutes just to write. And for all these, think logically.
