Question

@jim_thompson5910 Can you help me with an assignment?

Answer 1

I can help with a few problems, but not the whole thing

Answer 2

You can divide that square up along the diagonal so you get 2 triangles

Answer 3

Then you would use the fact that all sides of a square are congruent, along with the congruent diagonals, to use the SSS property

Answer 4

Do you see how I'm getting this?

Answer 5

so start with what you're given and connect from there to get the final result you want

Answer 6

what are you given?

Answer 7

you mean a rhombus right?

Answer 8

I would divide the rhombus along one diagonal

Answer 9

so it might help to label each corner with a point

Answer 10

yes correct

Answer 11

then you'll have something like this

Answer 12

since we're dealing with a rhombus, we know all 4 sides are congruent

so these two sides are congruent to each other

Answer 13

and so are these 2 sides

Answer 14

just by the definition of a rhombus

Answer 15

and finally, the diagonal is equal to itself (reflexive property)

Answer 16

if we pull apart the two triangles, we get this

Answer 17

and we see that the SSS property can then come into play
