Please anyone help me with this!

@nubeer It is better explained here

OpenStudy (anonymous):

To find the missing answers

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@just.chris

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I do not have the book defining the Corollary to the Base Angles Theorem. I am also not completely sure what the question(s) are. It seems to answer them in the chart. For instance, the base angle theorem states that if tos ides of a triangle are equal then the angles opposite that side are also equal. Since this is a construction of an equilateral triangle all sides and therefore all angles are equal. So the first line of the chart is just stating at truth about and equiangular triangle (all of which are also equilateral triangles).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Line two just states the Triangle Sum Teorem which is true for all triangles.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@just.chris what about line two where it states that 'm∠A = m∠B = m∠C' could it be "definition of congruent angles' ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And since all of the angles are equal, then the sum of the last line of the chart is obvious, yes? Let me know if this is not obvious to you.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

In the lines I have to write a proof or a statement

OpenStudy (anonymous):

They are asking you to prove theorems? If so, let me think about it a bit, because proofs rely on theorems.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes. Complete the following proof that the measure of each angle of an equilateral triangle is 60°.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok then, no problem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And btw, the words that are written in bold are written by me, so if they are wrong, please tell me.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well what I first wrote about the base angles theorem is a proof that equilateral triangles are equiangular as well.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So the first one is correct. Thank you.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No your bold text is correct. or at least I know they are not wrong.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok then. thanks :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So for the "definition" I think it is the same. If all angles are equal/congruent then it is equilateral equiangular triangle.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It might just seem to simple because they just asked it. But it is not wrong.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks. simple for the fourth part? I have no idea what m∠A + m∠A + m∠A = _____________

OpenStudy (anonymous):

For the last one, as they say, they are doing substitution. YES

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes but what goes in the dotted line? :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

all the angles are equal so 3 times any angle is ...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3 times the other angles?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

m∠A = m∠B = m∠C m∠A + m∠B + m∠C = 180 so what does the sum of any combination of three of these angles equal?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

equal angles?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes equal angles. Maybe is would be easier just to think of it as a math problem, but the algebra works for everything. a = b = c a + b + c = 180 Solve for any variable.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks! the proof has three more lines? can you still help me or is it bothering you?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Meaning a + a + a = b + b + b = c + c + c = 180 a = b = c = 60 Works exactly the same for the angles. The algebra rules apply. One of the really cool and fairly unique thinks about algebra, it's rules work for virtually everything.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Are you cool? I got to head out soon.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh then no problem thanks anyway for everything :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sure I didn't see the other lines. I still have a few minutes if that'll do it they are yours.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks a lot then! I really appreciate it. Here they are

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Cool, easy. Just algebra again.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok great then! THANKS

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OK, m∠A = what?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

60 degrees

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and 3 x 60 =?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

180 degrees

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Aye, captain.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wow! thanks!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think for the next one since we are dealing with an equilateral/equiangular triangle, they are looking for the sum of the angles of the triangle divided by the number of angles.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 60/3?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no the sum of all the angles divided by 3.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

180/3 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, I believe that is what they are looking for. The answer from the "Triangle Sum Theory" divided by 3.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Like this m∠A = 180° ÷ 3 = 60° ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, sir.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

THANKS!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you soooooooo much!!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The last one is oddly presented. The transitive property is usually expressed If a = b and b = c then a = c. What they have is more like the "symmetric property of equality" but since its three terms I guess it could be either.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I gotta run now. Later, RH.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you again so much!!! Have a great day!!! LATER :):):)
