Can someone help me with proofs!!!

OpenStudy (perl):

ok

OpenStudy (yolo_king):

file:///C:/Users/student/Pictures/Snipped%20homework%20help.PNG this is the assignment

OpenStudy (perl):

that file connects to your computer , i have no access to it

OpenStudy (yolo_king):

.-. hmmm

OpenStudy (yolo_king):

Now that you know how to prove a theorem, it's time to do it completely on your own. Select two line and angle proofs from the left column and two triangle proofs from the right column to prove. You may prove each theorem using either a two-column, paragraph, or flow chart proof. No matter the type of proof you choose, it must demonstrate a logical progression from one step to the next. For each proof, you will need to create and submit to your instructor the initial, or given figures: lines, segments, angles, or triangles. You may do this by hand or using technology. Select a proof to receive directions on how to create the initial figure using GeoGebra and a reminder as to what you are trying to prove.

OpenStudy (perl):

c:/users <--- this is a file for your computer

OpenStudy (yolo_king):

yeah :/

OpenStudy (paxpolaris):

use the Attach File button to show us the picture...

OpenStudy (yolo_king):

How would I do that>?

OpenStudy (paxpolaris):

In the bottom .... to the left of the Post button .... there are 3 buttons: Equation, Draw, and Attach File. Use "Attach File".

OpenStudy (yolo_king):

OpenStudy (yolo_king):

but you cant open the links but there just links to directions to how to you geobebra.

OpenStudy (yolo_king):

I think I can copy and paste whats ont he links .... yes I can. So I guess I will pick Vertical Angle Theorem Corresponding Angles Theorem Triangle Sum Theorem Isosceles Triangle Theorem Since i have to pick four.

OpenStudy (yolo_king):

@PaxPolaris You there?

OpenStudy (paxpolaris):

What's the Corresponding Angle theorem?

OpenStudy (yolo_king):

Umm.... Im not sure

OpenStudy (yolo_king):

isnt it something liek this|dw:1415391586444:dw|

OpenStudy (yolo_king):

Wait is it if a transversal intersects two parallel lines, then the alternate interior angles are congruent.

OpenStudy (paxpolaris):

if 2 parallel lines are cut by a transversal then the corresponding angles are congruent. ^^^ This is a postulate, not a theorem ... we can't prove it.

OpenStudy (yolo_king):

oh ok

OpenStudy (paxpolaris):

Yes, we can prove the Alternate Interior Angle theorem.

OpenStudy (yolo_king):

:D yay so is that what my teacher is looking for? and how to I write the proof because it says i need to write it in a flow chart or para and ect.

OpenStudy (yolo_king):

paragraph*

OpenStudy (paxpolaris):

which method do you prefer, use whatever method you yourself find easiest to understand.

OpenStudy (yolo_king):

I think paragraph would be easiest

OpenStudy (yolo_king):

Ok I got the Vertical angel theorem written down.

OpenStudy (yolo_king):

So would the corresponding angles theorem be if a transversal intersects two parallel lines, the pairs of corresponding angles are congruent.

OpenStudy (paxpolaris):

|dw:1415392299669:dw| Prove: \[\angle 1 \cong \angle 3\] .... since 1+2 = 180 ... and 3 +2 =180

OpenStudy (paxpolaris):

Prove the Alternate Interior Angle theorem instead. You can use the Corresponding Angles Postulate ... and VAT

OpenStudy (yolo_king):

Ahhhhh I understand now how they are congruent.

OpenStudy (yolo_king):

Ok so I can use the same statement for VAT and CAP?

OpenStudy (paxpolaris):

|dw:1415392839101:dw| Given: \(l \parallel m\) and \(n\) is transversal. Prove: \(\angle1\cong\angle2\)

OpenStudy (paxpolaris):

\(\angle1\cong\angle3\) .... Vertical Angles \(\angle2\cong\angle3\) ... Corresponding angles so, \(\angle1\cong\angle2\) ..... transitive property

OpenStudy (yolo_king):

which is the third one for?

OpenStudy (paxpolaris):

1 and 2 are alternate interior angles

OpenStudy (yolo_king):

AHhhhhhhh ok i see i see

OpenStudy (yolo_king):

Ok I got it down.

OpenStudy (yolo_king):

So we completes the first two correct?

OpenStudy (yolo_king):

completed

OpenStudy (paxpolaris):

yep

OpenStudy (paxpolaris):

Triangle sum theorem: |dw:1415394001058:dw| Prove: \(m\angle B+ m\angle C+m\angle BAC=180\) degrees we need to construct a line PQ passing thru point A parallel to BC, such that P-A-Q.

OpenStudy (paxpolaris):

|dw:1415394076770:dw|
