I feel your pain, but my question is much worse

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I suck at Geometry so bad. Ugh, whats your question??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Whoa I don't understand that lol..

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

yeah and everyone failed the midterms too rofl

@myaaat805, I think I can help you. @UsukiDoll, that's some sick math you got there, dude. I can't wait till I get to the point where I can understand that!!! Anyway, @myaaat805, the triangle given to us presents some awesome information. SDH and SDT are actually Given right angles, because the diagram shows us the right-angle boxes in the triangle. Also, we know they're right angles because SD is perpendicular to the triangle's base, HT. That's a Given too. So for step 2, fill in the blank with: Given. For step 3, we know that SH and ST are the same length because that's a Given in the question. (Fill in the blank with Given.) For step 4, SD = SD. (Fill in dat blank.) See, this works with the reflexive property; it's a side directly shared by both triangles SHD and STD. Now, Imma look over all the information I know, and Imma come to a final conclusion. If SD = SD... (SIDE) And SH = ST... (SIDE) And SDH and SDT are right angles... (ANGLE) Then we can wrap this problem up by saying that the triangles SHD and STD are congruent by the SAS (side-angle-side) congruency postulate. Go 'head and fill in dat last blank. Neat-o!
