Question

I have two questions this time :D

<3

Answer 1

@iluvlucy

Answer 2

1. angle PQT

Answer 3

for the first one, break up the triangles to get



the drawings are a bit off, but you get the idea

Answer 4

what letter is on both triangles?

Answer 5

Q

Answer 6

so the angle will be

__Q__

where the blanks that surround the Q will be replaced by letters (so it's going to be something like SQT, PQT, or TQP...basically...we just want Q in the middle)

Answer 7

Oh that makes sence

Answer 8

the only angle of the 4 choices where this happens is PQT, so that's why the answer is A

Answer 9

okay and what about number two?

Answer 10

you are given

triangle ABD = triangle CDB

and you want to prove that triangle ABE = triangle CDE

Answer 11

so how can you use what you're given to prove that triangle ABE = triangle CDE

Answer 12

any ideas?

Answer 13

So what you need to look at is what you need from the fact that triangle ABD=CDB

Answer 14

So think of things that triangles ABE and CDE share with triangles ABD and CDB

Answer 15

So do you need to know that <DCE=<BAE? No.
how about <A=<C? No because it'l looking at the whole angle
AD=BC? no, that's not in the triangle
So the last one AB=CD is right because it will help you prove that triangle ABE=CDE

Answer 16

Does that make sense?

Answer 17

ohhh gosh im not smart -.-

Answer 18

But do you get it?

Answer 19

yes now i do

Answer 20

Ok great! All you need is to practice similar problems multiple times, until you get the hang of it... A lot of these questions are just thinking logically, so you have to pay attention to details :-)
