Question

can someone help me?

Answer 1

With what?

Answer 2

Make a two-column proof showing statements and reasons to prove that triangle PRQ is similar to triangle PQS.

Answer 3

@OakTree do you know?

Answer 4

Working. Give me a moment - I did geometry two years ago, so I'm a bit rusty.

And @DUDE..IM..A..DUCK I just reported you for abuse of the forums. Please stop.

Answer 5

@OakTree okay thank you

Answer 6

btw i cant use symbols i have to write out the words

Answer 7

Oh - duh! Sorry. That was stupid of me. It's a proof by AA-similarity. Since both of the two angles have a thirty degree angle marked, and both of them have angle P, we know that they're similar. Ask away if you have any further questions about this.

Answer 8

huh? i still don't understand? i have to write a two column proof

Answer 9

You know that the two 30 degree angles are congruent, so that's one angle. Angle P is congruent to angle P by the reflexive property, so that makes two angles. By angle-angle similarity, the two are similar.

Answer 10

Makes sense?

Answer 11

so do i just write that?

Answer 12

In a two column proof format, of course. But basically it should go like this:

Answer 13

wow thank you i thought it was going to be something way more difficult.

Answer 14

Oh, okay. So you should be fine then. Glad I could help!

Answer 15

And just for the record, I find it humorous that all traces of Mr. Duck have disappeared. I can't even begin to imagine why that would be! :)

Answer 16

lol i see him on another post though? maybe he created another one

Answer 17

Don't worry - I just checked. He's been on OpenStudy for fourteen days - I sincerely doubt that he's a friend of the moderators. He'll be taken care of.

Answer 18
