Given:
|dw:1404450504584:dw|
WRITE 2 COLUMN PROOF
first u need to sjow that triangle JHD and triangle FHE are congruen
would it be vertical angles are cong.?
would it be vertical angles are cong.? yes
so far my steps are: 1) <J CONG <F 1) GIVEN 2) JH CONG FH 2) GIVEN 3) ANGLE 1 CONG ANGLE 2 3) VERTICAL <S ARE CONG
In triangle JHD and triangle FHE <J = <F (given) JH = FH (given) <1 =<2 (vertically opposite angles are equal) hence triangle JHD and triangle FHE are congruent
yup
so HD =HE (correponding parts of congruent triangles) hence HDE IS ISOSCELES
4) TRIANGLE JHD CONG TRIANGLE FHE 4) ASA 5) HD CONG HE 5) CPCTC 6)? since an isosceles triangle has two cong sides i know DH and HE is cong but which other side is also cong?
its good you have learnt to point out congruency of triangles
I FIGURED IT OUT , SO HOW WOULD I PROVE A TRIANGLE IS ISOSCELES IN THE REASON COLUMN?
for isosceles triangle u need only two sides so here u have DH and HE
reason----> (two sides eaual)
ok I got it :) thanks once again.
