OpenStudy (studygurl14):

what do you have to prove?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

vuts is a parallelogram

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

Is there any given information?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes sorry given sv//tu and svx=utx

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

SV is parallel to TU, and SVX = UTX Okay, what do you know about opposite interior angles?

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

|dw:1386875532417:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

um idk. they're alternate angles?

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

sorry, alternate interior angles, not opposite. Anyway, <SUV and UTX are alternate interior angles, meaning they have to be congruent. Here's what we have so far |dw:1386875740010:dw| What next?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im not sure.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Corresponding parts are congruent cause they bisect each other?

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

Wait, are angles SUV and UTX congruent, or are TRIANGLES SUV and UTX congruent? There is a big difference

OpenStudy (anonymous):

idk im so confused

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

in the lesson, it should have a triangle to signal that it is a triangle, and a < to signal that it is an angle
