figure is missing first part of q
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
Is that all given ? there is nothing in the start of question that tells whats given and what to prove ha ?
OpenStudy (highschoolmom2010):
let me post that sorry i clipped too short
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
ha ty, we must knw wat we trying to prove before attempting to prove. :p

3. \(\angle CBD \cong \angle DEC \) 3. All right angles are congruent
OpenStudy (highschoolmom2010):
there are no right angles
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
look at 2nd statement
OpenStudy (highschoolmom2010):
ok i see it now :)

\(\perp\) means perpendicular.
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
when lines are perpendicular, they form right angles.
OpenStudy (highschoolmom2010):
yes i know that :)
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
good :) I want you figure out the reason for 4.
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
a = a
is which property ?

its the same line...
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
we wont say like that when doing geometry proofs
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
a = a
is called "reflexive property of equality"
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
It says, a thing is equal to itself.
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
its very obvious i agree. but we need to justification for everything in geometry.

4. \(CD \cong CD\) 4. By reflexive property of equality
OpenStudy (highschoolmom2010):
ah ok well in so many words i was on the right track
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
look at the next statement
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
stwo triangles are congruent.
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
so for reason, u need to provide some congruence theorem

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
think which congruence theorem u can use here
OpenStudy (highschoolmom2010):
hmmm there is so many of them
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
oly one applies here
OpenStudy (highschoolmom2010):
can i have a hint i just had a massive brain fart

thats the hint
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
see if it helps
OpenStudy (highschoolmom2010):
SAS?
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
try again you've worked this theorem in ur last problem

HL theorem was the last one we did
OpenStudy (highschoolmom2010):
-_- wooow i feel dumb now
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
you see why it works ha

Yes, lol square means 90
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
90 means its right
OpenStudy (highschoolmom2010):
alright i have like 4 more problems similar to this
