@jim_thompson5910

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

what did you get

OpenStudy (hang254):

i was wondering what the symbol for number 5 is, first off

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

that's the congruence symbol

OpenStudy (hang254):

dose that mean angle 2 and 3 are congruent?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yes

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

why are angles 2 and 3 congruent?

OpenStudy (hang254):

Converse of Same-Side Interior Angles Theorem ?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

angles 2 and 3 are what kind of angles

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

how are they related

OpenStudy (hang254):

they have the same angle measure

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yes, but why do they have the same angle measure how are they connected?

OpenStudy (hang254):

is it one of the reasons?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yes, which one though

OpenStudy (hang254):

are they supplementary, because i dint think they are

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

what kind of angles are these |dw:1356127975246:dw|

OpenStudy (hang254):

adjacent

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

they don't share a common side

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so they aren't adjacent

OpenStudy (hang254):

opposties

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

they are opposite, so they are _____ angles

OpenStudy (hang254):

converse?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

check out this page http://www.basic-mathematics.com/types-of-angles.html

OpenStudy (hang254):

oh, vertical angles

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yes

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so angle 2 = angle 3 because they are vertical angles

OpenStudy (hang254):

ok, so 5 matches F

OpenStudy (hang254):

1 and 4 are A and C

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yes 5 matches to F but 1 doesn't match to A 4 is C though

OpenStudy (hang254):

1 is given, right?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yep

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

first line of any proof is usually "given" since you start with what you got

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

and work from there

OpenStudy (hang254):

ok, thank you!

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

this proof is all messed up though (not your fault, its whoever wrote it) you can't use line 2 because you don't know if line L and line M are parallel since it's not given (and you prove it in line 6)

OpenStudy (hang254):

oh, i see. so going through the steps helps you to solve it?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yeah but the steps are out of order because you need L || M first before you can say < 3 + < 5 = 180

OpenStudy (hang254):

well it does say to prove that lines l and m are parallel, if that changes anyhting

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

well you would need to switch lines 2 and 3, then make line 5 come before both of those lines just to do that, so like i said, everything is out of order

OpenStudy (hang254):

oh ok, so it is a messed up proof
