OpenStudy (mertsj):

Do you know what the reflexive property is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a. <a is congruent to <c; AAS b. Side BD is congruent to side BC; SAS c. Side BD is congruent to side DB;SSS d <a is congruent to <c; ASA

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes. It's congruent to it's own angle or something like that lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

like any number is equal to itself

OpenStudy (mertsj):

The reflexive property for equality says that 5=5. The reflexive property for congruence says that side AB is congruent to side AB or angle A is congruent to angle A.

OpenStudy (mertsj):

The reason given in step 2 is reflexive. That means the statement must be that something is congruent to itself. What might that be that would help prove the triangles congruent?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ohhhh okay. So relexive property is only for equal numbers to equal themselves and reflexive property only involves sides to be congruent to themselves?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

<a and < c

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Yes...the reflexive property for congruence involves sides, angles, congruent to themselves.

OpenStudy (mertsj):

So if I say <a is congruent to <c, is that saying that an angle is congruent to ITSELF

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh wait noo nvm haha

OpenStudy (mertsj):

A and C are two DIFFERENT angles

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohh okay. i got it now. its <bd is congruent to <db

OpenStudy (mertsj):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oaky thank you so much!! so it would be SSS property

OpenStudy (mertsj):

yes

OpenStudy (mertsj):

yw

I loveee you. Your a very good teeacher
