Statement Reason 1. r2 = m2 + n2 Given 2. f2 = m2 + n2 ? 3. f2 = r2 Substitution 4. f = r Square Root Property of Equality 5. Triangle NRM is congruent to triangle EFD SSS Postulate 6. Angle NRM is a right angle CPCTC 7. Triangle NRM is a right triangle Angle NRM is a right angle Which reason best fits statement 2?

OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):

AAS postulate Pythagorean Theorem (I think) (maybe) Triangle Proportionality Theorem SSS postulate

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Triangle Proportionality Theorem is the correct way of doing it

OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):

wow i suck okay thank you

OpenStudy (phi):

If you make a right triangle, you can say \[ 2. f^2 = m^2 + n^2 ? \] because of pythagoras

OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):

so i was right ?

OpenStudy (phi):

I do not see your answer.

OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):

mine is B

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i used Triangle Proportionality Theorem but Pythagoras is one way

OpenStudy (phi):

oh, yes, that is correct

OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):

i dont know which answer to put now

OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):

B ?

OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):

@phi

OpenStudy (phi):

yes. The reason you can say f^2 = m^2 + n^2 is because you can use the pythagorean theorem

OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):

ok
