I need help checking this homework (# 9 ONLY) I did most of it; I just need the answers to be checked, so I know what the answer is; so it makes more sense to me. I am not for sure if my answers are right, so that's why I need them checked for correctness and accuracy! :D I will most appreciate that! :D Medal will be rewarded for your good doing! :D

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

reason #2 is wrong

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

reason #4 is incorrect

OpenStudy (firejay5):

#2 I think is a theorem, but 4 is right

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

4 is incorrect

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

I don't want to "give" it away, but read it over again

OpenStudy (firejay5):

How are they wrong

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

reason #5 is also incorrect

OpenStudy (firejay5):

It says Definition, postulate, property, or theorem, so each # will have 1 of the choices

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

reason #5 should be "definition of complementary angles"

OpenStudy (firejay5):

4 is right, because I looked at an example of segment addition postulate and it showed the same thing

OpenStudy (firejay5):

let me guess 6 - 8 are wrong too I assume

OpenStudy (firejay5):

I know it for a fact

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

hmm I don't see a #8, and #6 is blank

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

ok well it's wrong, I'm sorry look at the top of your page again

OpenStudy (firejay5):

oh sorry I was looking at the #'s 1 - 8 not #9

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

there is a much more valid (not circular) reason why angle 1 is complementary to angle 2

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

well at the top you said "I need help checking this homework (# 9 ONLY) ", so I'm only checking #9

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

the proof table

OpenStudy (firejay5):

what's number 6 & 7

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

hint for #6: you are replacing "<2" with "<3" what's another word for "replace"?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

hint for #7: the last statement in ANY proof is ALWAYS what you want to prove

OpenStudy (firejay5):

At least give me a hint on #2 and #4

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

hint for #2: you're cutting something in half (ie equal pieces) what's a mathematical way of saying this (it starts with a B)

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

hint for #4: it's in plain sight (see top of page)

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

...like i said, I don't want to "give" it away...

OpenStudy (firejay5):

#2 is bisector of an angle

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yep, that is correct, angle bisector

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

or "definition of angle bisector" or "definition of angle bisection"

OpenStudy (firejay5):

#2 is angle bisector and #4 Definition of complementary angles or corresponding angle

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

no, #4 is not correct

OpenStudy (firejay5):

It was definition of complementary angles

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

look I have no idea why you ask me for help only to tell me that I'm wrong

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

clearly the statement "angle 1 is complementary is angle 2" is given

OpenStudy (firejay5):

I don't think you're wrong and I am just getting confused more and more making it harder for me to understand
