Help with some Geometry, please? Thanks! ^.^

whitemonsterbunny17 (whitemonsterbunny17):

If AB= k, then CD = ____ and EF= ____ Hold on while I draw the diagram

sammixboo (sammixboo):

Sammi maybe to the rescue D: :D

whitemonsterbunny17 (whitemonsterbunny17):

I don't understand where they're getting the "k" from.. o.O

sammixboo (sammixboo):

Same

sammixboo (sammixboo):

Seems like there should be more.. I dunno

whitemonsterbunny17 (whitemonsterbunny17):

I'm not sure, but I believe AB is congruent to EF, but I dunno what CD is.

whitemonsterbunny17 (whitemonsterbunny17):

:c

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I was thinking AB and EF are congruent while CD is k^2

whitemonsterbunny17 (whitemonsterbunny17):

I have no idea o-O

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but i think i like 2k better

whitemonsterbunny17 (whitemonsterbunny17):

@e.mccormick could you help please? ^.^

OpenStudy (e.mccormick):

And there are no parallel marks?

whitemonsterbunny17 (whitemonsterbunny17):

Nope .-.

whitemonsterbunny17 (whitemonsterbunny17):

But the section is on proving parallel lines..

OpenStudy (e.mccormick):

Yes, well, without some not saying they are parallel, it is a bad assumption to think they are. =/

OpenStudy (e.mccormick):

And is it supposed to be a wing or a triangle?

whitemonsterbunny17 (whitemonsterbunny17):

More like a wing, yeah.

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

@ganeshie8

whitemonsterbunny17 (whitemonsterbunny17):

If it helps, the top of the page states that "Points A, B, E, and F are the midpoints of line segments XC, XD, YC, and YD.

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

The man who taught me geometric principles :P

OpenStudy (e.mccormick):

OK, then if they are parallel you can use the ratio rules, and midpoints might be important .... hehe.

whitemonsterbunny17 (whitemonsterbunny17):

But where do they get the "k" from though?

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

|dw:1418700699804:dw|

OpenStudy (e.mccormick):

It is bent.

whitemonsterbunny17 (whitemonsterbunny17):

It is bent @Jhannybean

OpenStudy (e.mccormick):

That is why I asked if it is a wing.

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

Ok just making sure
