I need help again, pleaseeee!!! Wait for attachment!
HEREEEE
Look at the marked-up diagram. Which do you think it is? Post what you think, and we will compare answers, okay? @patyrgh
asa?
No because the congruent sides are not between the angles. That is what ASA means. The congruent sides are not included between the angles.
Try again.
SAS then?
i'm so bad at this :/
No because you know only one pair of sides to be congruent. SAS means two pairs of sides and one pair of included angles. You are looking for something with A, A, and an S in it but not with the S between the two As. Try again.
I have never understood this, from where do you start to look it? because it seems like I always start from the wrong direction!!!
I don't see those two angles in the beginning.
In the beginning, one pair of angles is given to be congruent, < W and <X. But, you have to look at the steps of the proof to find the second pair of congruent angles. Look at statement 3 for the second pair of angles. They are the right angles formed by the perpendicular segments. So, that is the two pairs of angles.
Statement 4 of the proof gives the pair of congruent sides.
Try again.
Yeah, I know it aas now! After the first two I thought were right :(
AAS is correct. Two angles and the non-included side.
So let me get this straight, can I or can I not know which one it is by only looking at the picture? Because if that's the case, I'm never going to get these questions right.
