In a quadrilateral ABCD, the diagonals bisect each other at point T. Based on the given information which statement is presented first to show that side AB is equal to side BC? Angle ADT is congruent to Angle ATB. Angle ATB is congruent to Angle CTB. Side BC is equal to the diagonal AC of the quadrilateral. Side AB is equal to the diagonal DB of the quadrilateral.

hmmm not sure

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

does it give you a picture

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

then it's missing info because it's implying that we're dealing with a rhombus, but we need to know if the diagonals are perpendicular or not

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i believe they are always perpendicular

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yeah in a rhombus they are, but we're not told that

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

it just says ABCD is a quadrilateral

http://openstudy.com/study#/updates/4fca5a3de4b0c6963ad45b77 would u agree?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@jim_thompson5910

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what do u think

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yeah I agree, but something is still missing I know the answer, it just seems odd why they left off this crucial piece of info

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

these two angles must be congruent in order for AB = BC |dw:1359853664857:dw|

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

because you can then use the SAS rule to say triangle ATB = triangle CTB then use CPCTC to say AB = BC

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thx...one more?

The figure shows a pattern of a regular hexagon and equilateral triangles. Which of the following describes the correct method to find the measure of angle y? The exterior angle of the hexagon is the angle of the equilateral triangle. y = 60°. The exterior angle of the hexagon is the interior angle of the equilateral triangle. y = 180° – 60°. The exterior angle of the hexagon is the exterior angle of the equilateral triangle. y = 180° – 120°. The interior angle of the equilateral triangle and y are supplementary angles. y = 90° - 60°.

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

ok last one
