Question

In #2.. my answer is..
Triangle VPQ = triangle TRO
- SAS Postulate..
is my answer enough for the instruction said? Or still lacks something?

Answer 1

You lack one thing!

How exactly did you prove the triangles are congruent?
Can you tell me? :D

Answer 2

I am going to write SAS Postulate, ASA Postulate, etc.. is that enough now? XD

Answer 3

Do you just have to write which postulate(s) you used? :D

Answer 4

Maybe..? There's no exact instuction..
or should I write ex: AB is congruent to CD?

Answer 5

I want to know how did YOU CONCLUDE the triangles as congruent?

Answer 6

By the given information.. and they are overlapping triangles. did I even answer it right. .__.

Answer 7

See they ARE congruent and also by the theorem SAS
But All I want to know is HOW DID YOU KNOW IT WAS SAS?

Answer 8

Oh, okay.
SAS Postulate since
S: VP = TR
A: <P = <R
S: PO = RQ
side-angle-side :)

Answer 9

Are PO and RQ the sides?
Or are they PART OF THE SIDES?

Answer 10

They are part..

Answer 11

Yes. So then how do YOU think we can prove that the whole side is equal?
Ask me if you do not get it. :D

Answer 12

Oh right.. you're right. :| ugh, this is hard

Answer 13

Need any help bud?

Answer 14

yes, please?

Answer 15

We are given that PO = QR right? :D

Answer 16

Yes

Answer 17

So now can we say that
PO + OQ = PQ
and
QR + OQ = OR
?

Answer 18

Yep :) Got that

Answer 19

So if
PO = QR
PO + OQ = QR + OQ [Adding OQ to both sides]
PQ = OR
Because
PO + OQ = PQ
and
QR + OQ = OR.

Understood? :)
And thus after showing this you can safely prove that the 2 triangles are congruent by SAS! :D

Answer 20

Oh, alright.. I totally understood it, thank you so much:D

Answer 21
