Question

so i am in need of help with proofs on congruent triangles, i have 2 questions i need help with, anyone willing to show me what to do step by step?
please? ;n;

Answer 1

Post the theorem and the diagram. Is the proof a 2-column deductive proof?

Answer 2

Given: line PG is congruent to SG and PT is congruent to ST. Prove angle GPT is congruent to angle GST and yes i think so i have to show a statement and reason.

Answer 3

i understand that so far i should have something like :
considering this was stated hence the "given" reason. yes?

Answer 4

Given: Segment PG is congruent to SG and PT is congruent to ST
Prove angle GPT is congruent to angle GST

Statements
----------

1. Segment PG ≅ Segment SG

2. Segment PT ≅ Segment ST

3. Segment TG ≅ Segment TG

4. Triangle GPT ≅ Triangle GST

5. <GPT ≅ <GST

Answer 5

@Kitteh Here are the statements. Your task is to write the reasons. Okay?

Answer 6

okay i'll try x:


am i at least close?

Answer 7

Close, yes.

# 3 is --> 3. Segment TG ≅ Segment TG Reflexive Property

#4 is a triangle congruence postulate but not AAS.

#5 has to do with corresponding parts of congruent triangles.

----------

So, try again for the reasons for steps #4 and #5

Answer 8

4. AAA?
5. i'm totally lost.

Answer 9

#4 is one of the reasons on the attached chart. Look at the chart and look at the diagram.

Answer 10

ASA? im just completely guessing from what i think i remember ;x;

Answer 11

In this proof, we have three sides of one triangle congruent to three sides of another triangle. We do not know anything about angles being congruent until AFTER the triangles are shown to be congruent.

Which reason has ONLY sides in it?

Answer 12

SSS?

Answer 13

SSS Postulate is correct.

Answer 14

For the last step, you have to know about the relationship of corresponding parts of congruent triangles.

Have you seen this in your textbook; CPCTC or perhaps CPCT ?

Answer 15

i think soo saying the first one out loud sounds familiar

Answer 16

CPCTC means corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent.

That is how we know this --> 5. <GPT ≅ <GST is true.

Answer 17

oh okay!o: can you help me with another proof please?

Answer 18

Close this thread and post the new theorem and diagram in a new thread. Then, I'll try to help.

Answer 19

alrighty!
