Question

Help with proofs??
1) Given: angle N and angle Q are right angles; line NO is congruent to line PQ
Prove: ∆ONP is congruent to ∆PQO
Statements:
1. Angle N and angle Q are right angles.
2. Angle ONP is congruent to angle PQO
3. ∆ONP and ∆PQO are right triangles
4. Line OP is congruent to line PO
5. Line NO is congruent to line PQ
6.
Reasons:
1. Given
2.
3. Def. Of right ∆
4. Reflexive property
5.
6.

Please help?

Answer 1

my fist thing when it comes to geometry is always, draw a picture. Can you please do so? then we can examine the proof

Answer 2

Here, I took a picture of the worksheet.

Answer 3

ok so, can you draw it here? we will need to draw on it

Answer 4

cool, now, label your given

Answer 5

now, justify number two, or tell me what it means, which angle does it refer to?

Answer 6

Uhm. Would it be Right Angles are congruent?

Answer 7

well, it's actually just given right? 90 deg=90deg. But if you say right angles are congruent, go with that

Answer 8

(common core has modified so much math terminology)

Answer 9

Yea, my teacher gave us a sheet with all these theorems, properties and definitions. I'm trying to match them up but some of them are confusing.

Answer 10

it's cool. Ok but yea, all right angles are congruent

Answer 11

so next 3 right?

Answer 12

any ideas?

Answer 13

Well that one I just had to fill in a blank. 4 is pretty easy so now it's just 5.

Answer 14

well, and 6

Answer 15

k let's see

Answer 16

so, what features do we know are the same between the triangles?

Answer 17

or what do we know about angle NOQ? and the one oposite that

Answer 18

They're right triangles.

Answer 19

uhm more in detail, do we know any sides are congruent?

Answer 20

Line NO and PQ. And OP and PO

Answer 21

how about the hyp?

Answer 22

also, you can actually do this proof in two steps

Answer 23

it's called hyp, leg

Answer 24

Oh yea. We just learned that today.

Answer 25

uh actually I think that's what they were getting at here

Answer 26

Okay. So that would be Hyp. Leg or would that be 6?

Answer 27

well.. 6 is redundant

Answer 28

because 5 was in your given

Answer 29

ohh okay.

Answer 30

yea, so the whole prrof wasnt really necessary... weird

Answer 31

Yea. They just like to make things complicated haha

Answer 32

indeed.
