Select the answer that has the steps in correct order to prove the following using indirect proof. Given: p || r and m∠1 ≠ m∠2 Prove: line p is not || to line q a. m∠1 = m∠2 b. m∠3 = m∠2 c. Since p || r, then m∠3 = m∠1 d. Assume p || q e. line p is not || to line q A. d, c, b, a, e B. d, b, c, a, e C. d, e, c, a, b D. d, a, b, c, e

lets do it together ok

Prove: line p is not || to line q

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

in indirect proof, we always start with assuming the opposite of what we need to prove

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

since we need to prove that p not parallel to q, lets assume the opposite is true : p is parallel to q

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

so it starts wid d,

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okk

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would e contradict d putting it after?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

since p || q, <1= <2 cuz they are corresponding angles

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

so it goes this way : d, a,..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok ok

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

on second thoughts, thats wrong. we wont go anywhere wid that

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

after d, its more logical to put below thing :- c. Since p || r, then m∠3 = m∠1

idk how ur so good at this i wish i had ur brain!

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

so its the correct order : d, c, b, a, e go thru that order and convince urself it works ! lol you're much better than me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok ill look through it to try & make sense of it i have so much trouble w. these -.- & NO WAY your pretty much genius lol

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

ok takes time to make sense of these proofs, you wil get better at these in few days im sure :D
