How do I solve this!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This is my proof can someone help <E = <F = 60º given <G = <G = 90º given <D = <E = 30º given DEG is similar to DEF AAA theorem

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

Well angle D is common to both triangles <DEG = <EFG given, both 60 so the similarity is proven by Angle Angle postulate

OpenStudy (phi):

you should use 3 letters to name the angles. <E is not clear

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I've done these, but I absolutely hate proofs. I think that on the right side for "<D=<E", it's not given, but you used the Triangle Sum Theorem to find the measure of <D and <E.

OpenStudy (phi):

both triangles have an angle = 60 those angles are equal to each other. (things equal to the same thing are equal to each other) both triangles share a common angle <EDG so you can say <EDG = <EDG (reflexive property)

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

well for the Angle Angle postulate you only need 2 angles.... not 3

OpenStudy (phi):

You can say the third angle is 180 - sum of the other two if both triangles have the same two angles, this forces the third angle to be congruent.
