HELP! **PROOF** I GIVE MEDALS ;) finish the proof that ∠WZX≅∠YXZ 1)WZ≅YX----->____?___ 2)_____?___---->Given 3)_____?___---->Reflexive Property of Segment Congruence 4)ΔWXY≅ΔYZX----->______?____ 5)_______?___------>Corresponding parts of ≅ Δ are ≅

@mathstudent55 could u help me on this one?
Do you have any ideas on what the possible reasons are for each statement?
for some of them
Okay, what do you have for the 1st one?
would it be by SAS (side angle side)
i no the given..WX=YZ and WZ=XY
i ment congruent
What statement do you have for step 3?
Reflexive property of segment cogruence
That's the reason which is supplied. What is the statemtn you put in the blank in step 3?
ooh sorry misunderstood...WX is congruent to ZY
Isn't that the statement of step 2?
I don't kno??? is that wat is given??
You didn't show the "given" or the "prove" of this proof, so we need to guess which reasons are given. Didn't this proof come with a figure (which you showed) and a "given" and a "prove"?
no it just gave me the pic and the reasons and statements I gave above....Fishish the proof that ∠WZX≅∠YXZ by filling in the missing statements and reason
Ok. Then let's do it.
ok sounds good to me :)
WZ and YX are shown to be congruent in the figure. So reason 1 is: Given.
So their can be to givens??
Yes. There can be many givens. Since reason 2 is "Given" we look in the figure for the other given info.
The other given ifo you can read off the figure is placed in statement 2. Statement 2. WX is congr. to YZ
ok I understand
1)WZ≅YX -----> Given 2)WX≅YZ -----> Given 3)_____?___---->Reflexive Property of Segment Congruence 4)ΔWXY≅ΔYZX----->______?____ 5)_______?___------>Corresponding parts of ≅ Δ are ≅
woult 3 be Triangle WXY is congruent to triangle YXZ
We have lines 1 and 2 done. Now we work on line 3. We need a statement for step 3. The reason of step 3 is reflexive. That means something is ciongruent to itself.
Step 4 is the triangles are congruent. Step 3 is one more step leading to the triangles being congruent.
Which ways do you know of proving two triangles congruent?
Triangel WXZ is congruent to YXZ 40base angles theorem
I ment 4)base angle theorem
ASA, AAS, etc. Do you know other methods in addition to AAS, and ASA?
yes
Can you list them?
do u meant for the anwer or just list them all
I asked if you know methods of proving triangles congruent. I already listed AAS and ASA. Do you know other methods, and if so, can you list them?
List them all. Not just what we need here.
ooh SSS SAS HL ASA AAS
Good.
