Fill in the missing reasons to complete the proof.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Not enough info

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can you help me, I am having trouble coming up with the properties?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

my computer cant see the picture but i wish you luck

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hold on. Let me change image format

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok hold on let me see

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Anyone?

OpenStudy (darkprince14):

at number 3, i think there's a rule about similar triangles... you should look that part up..

OpenStudy (darkprince14):

i already forgot my geom stuffs so i don't know if what i said can help you..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yea I think it is Property of congruent triangles.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The second one is stumping me

OpenStudy (darkprince14):

if you look at it, isn't triangle TUW an isosceles triangle?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it appears to be.

OpenStudy (darkprince14):

if angle U and angle x is similar, doesn't that mean that line UY and line WX is parallel? AM I right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yup, your right,

OpenStudy (darkprince14):

In an isosceles triangle, the legs have same length and same angles:) The 5th part of the proof says that angle T and angle UWT (or angle W) are congruent:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Alright I understand. but what is the reason then? Like what property?

OpenStudy (darkprince14):

ahm, wait let me look that one up.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks, I have been looking through the properties but have struggled to find one that matched

OpenStudy (darkprince14):

sorry if i'm not that much of a help... I'm looking back at my notes right now:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, your doing great ! Thanks so much!

OpenStudy (darkprince14):

Do you know the base angle theorem?

OpenStudy (darkprince14):

I mean the converse base angle theorem... It says that if two base angles are congruent, then the sides opposite these angles are also congruent... I dunno if you can use that on your proof. Sorry, it's the only thing that came on my mind...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Alright thanks, !

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think your right!

OpenStudy (darkprince14):

did that help??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes it did, thanks so much. I appreciate it!
