Two Column Proofs I Really Need Help!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

Use ASA to prove that the two smaller triangles are congruent first.

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

For Question 19 use SAS

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

do you need more instructions?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It Has to Be in a Form Like This Statement: Reason:

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

Do you need guidance of the whole two-column concept or just this particular question?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I have no idea How to do them I always get them Wrong

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

If you will excuse me for 2 minutes, because my modem is malfunctioning and I have to reset it. Sorry for any inconvenience caused.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

i'm back now, how do you want me to teach you?

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

I could: (a) Give you all the steps (b) Guide you to the answer (c) Let you show me your attempt and I'll correct you

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

You choose what is best to you, in your opinion. (Everybody is different)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Could you tell me the answer and then tell me how you got them?

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

OK

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

Here is my attempt: \[\begin{array}{c|c} \mbox{Statements}&\mbox{Reason}\\\hline \angle BDA\cong\angle BDC&\overline{BD}\perp\overline{AC}\\\hline \overline{BD}\cong\overline{BD}&\mbox{equality is symmetric}\\\hline \angle DBA\cong\angle DBC&\overline{BD}\mbox{ bisects }\angle ABC\\\hline \Delta BDA\cong\Delta BDC&\mbox{ASA}\\\hline \angle A\cong\angle C&\mbox{corr }\angle s \end{array}\]

@Barbbiee

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is this 18?

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

you know, typing this out takes a lot of time, so you'll have to be super patient xD yes, it's q18

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

So I used ASA, first statement A, second statement S, third statement A.

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

Once I proved that the two triangles are congruent, the result immediately follows at the fifth statement.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what does Cor Mean ? corresponding ? && The Raeson For the first one what is the thing in between BD And AC

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

that thing \(\perp\) is perpendicular

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

I don't know what you guys call it in USA, but in here I call it corresponding angles

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah that's what we call it

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

so you get it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes I understand

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I just dnt know how to write it out. can you help me with number 19 too? @kc_kennylau

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

\[\begin{array}{c|c} Statement&Reason\\\hline \overline{CA}\cong\overline{EA}&given\\\hline \angle CAB\cong\angle EAD&\mbox{vert opp }\angle s\\\hline \overline{AB}\cong\overline{AD}&given\\\hline \Delta ABC\cong\Delta ADE&SAS \end{array}\]

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

I know that you don't call it vert opp <s
