help please
I'm not downloading that.
okay hold on
Given: Line segment FH bisects ∠GHK and ∠GFK Prove: ΔFGH ≅ ΔFKH Select the statement with the corresponding reason for each step of the proof.
There are 4 statements in the correct order. All you have to do is match the correct reason to each statement. Can you come up with the correct reason for Statement 1?
its asking for definition
No. When you start a proof, you need to start from some information. Read the Given statement of the problem and compare to Statement 1.
thats the question
I saw the file. I know the question. Are you interested in doing it or not?
i am please help
Look at my question to you a few responses above. Here it is again so you don't need to look for it. Answer my question below. "No. When you start a proof, you need to start from some information. Read the Given statement of the problem and compare to Statement 1."
okay i see that
so will the 1st one be B?
No. Did you read the Given part of the proof? What does the Given part of the proof state?
THAT IT BISECTS
Good. Compare the statement in the Given part of the proof with statement 1. How do they compare?
IT BISECTS
I asked how they compare. You answered it bisects. What does that mean? The given information bisects the statement? That is meaningless. How about answering that the Given information of the proof is exactly the same as the Statement 1 of the proof?
THAT MAKES SENSE
The statement of a proof problem in geometry usually consists of three parts: 1. Some Given information 2. A Prove statement 3. A figure Almost always, the Given information is written in the proof as a statement with the reason "Given"
Ok, so far we have Reason 1: Given ok?
YES
Now let's look at the second statement. The statement is stating that some angles are congruent. Look at the first statement. What does each bisector do? Can you conclude the second statement from the fact that you have bisectors at work?
A FIGURE?
What does an angle bisector do? Forget the proof for a minute now. Look at the following drawing and answer my question. |dw:1375473073400:dw| If I tell you that OM bisects angle AOC, what can you say about angles AOM and MOC?
MAKE IT CONGRUENT TO EACH OTHER?
CUTS IT IN HALF?
Great. How do we know that? It's because that is the DEFINITION of an angle bisector. Now look again at Statement 2 in the proof. Taking the information from Statement 1 that a bisector is at work, Statement 2 states that some angles are congruent. What is reason 2, then?
Definition of Angle Bisector
Excellent work. Now let's move on to Statement 3.
We now have: Reason 2: Definition of angle bisector.
Read Statement 3. What is it saying?
ITS EQUAL OR SIMILAR TO EACH OTHER
Not to each other. It is congruent to ITSELF. When you look in a mirror, what do you see? When you look at the calm water of a lake what do you see?
MYSELF
A reflection. similar images, if not the same
Reflexive Property?
Excellent. Just the answers I was looking for.
