Can anybody please help?
for question 8 is A correct? and for question 9 is B correct? I am confused for question 10! :(
@RH Both of those answers are correct.
Give the reason for step 6. A. Transitive Property of Angle Congruence B. Transitive Property of Segment Congruence C. Definition of congruent triangles D. Definition of congruent angles
@genius12 thanks!
@genius12 But what about question 10?
"Common" This means that both sides of the equal sign represent the same entity.
@RH definition of congruent triangles I believe it would be.
Thanks!!!

Sorry, "common" applies to line 5 and not line 6. The given proof has redundant steps 3 and 4. Steps 2 and 5 are sufficient to show congruence with justification ASA (angle-side-angle). As it is, steps 2 and 3 prove that the triangles are similar, and 4 and 5 show that one or more sides are congruent. So the justification in step 6 could be: "similar triangles with at least one side congruent".
