Question

is anybody good at proofs?

Answer 1

@sleepyhead314 can you help me?

Answer 2

question first...
I haven't done proofs in a long time

Answer 3

so the given is OM is perpedicular to LN, then the next step has a reason but no statement. The reason is if 2 angles are perpendicular, then they form four right angles. what would the statement be

Answer 4

"then they form four right angles"
that would be saying something like "[these] angles are right angles"
replace [these] with the correct name for the angles :)

Answer 5

so would it be <M is congruent to <LMO

Answer 6

@sleepyhead314

Answer 7

not just <M for the first

Answer 8

because <M can be two different angles

Answer 9

have toe be specific

Answer 10

the <LMO was right
now name the other one like that

Answer 11

so the other one would be <NMO

Answer 12

yes :)

Answer 13

thanks i have another questions

Answer 14

ok

Answer 15

so after that statement, theres another one with a reason without a statement. the reasons is right angle congruence theorem

Answer 16

that means that if two angles are both right angles then they are congruent?

Answer 17

so would the statement be just <M

Answer 18

no statement would be [angle] is congruent to [angle]
because of this right angle theorem

Answer 19

oh. but i have no clue what it would be

Answer 20

"that means that if two angles are both right angles then they are congruent"
what two angles did we just say were right angles? :P

Answer 21

so its the same thing?

Answer 22

oh wait o-o
for the first one it would have been [angle] and [angle] are right angles
then this one would be [angle] is congruent to [angle]

Answer 23

wait what

Answer 24

Statement: [angle] and [angle] are right angles
Reason: If 2 angles are perpendicular, then they form four right angles.

Statement: [angle] is congruent to [angle]
Reason: right angle congruence theorem

Answer 25

wait so what would be the statement for right angle congruence theorem
and is <NMO congruent to <LMO still for the reason of if 2 angles are perpendicular, then they form 4 right angles??
Im confusedd!

Answer 26

sorry about that
for the "then they form 4 right angles" you will have to state that "these angles are right angles"

for the "congruence theorem" you will state that "these angles are congruent"

does that make more sense? :/

Answer 27

no

Answer 28

where'd I loose you?

Answer 29

idk im just confused can we just start the whole proof over

Answer 30

yeah sure

Answer 31

ok so
1.statement- segement OM is perpendicular to segment LN 1.reason-given
2. statement-? 2.reason-if 2 angles are perpendicular they they form 4 right angles

so i need to fine the statement for 2

Answer 32

here is how you do it:
when they give you the reason and want you to get a statement,
you take the part After the "Then" in the reason and make it your statement

so for "if 2 angles are perpendicular they they form 4 right angles"
you take "then they form 4 right angles"
so your statement would be "these angles are right angles"

Answer 33

but what angles are right angles?

Answer 34

they are the ones we talked about earlier :)
the two angles that I told you to be more specific with?

Answer 35

<M and <LMO?

Answer 36

yes except a more specific <M

Answer 37

so <NMO?

Answer 38

yes!
so you have "<NMO and <LMO are right angles"

Answer 39

ok next for
3. statement-? 3.Reason-right angles congruence theorem
what about that one?

Answer 40

"congruence theorem"
so you're going to say that something is congruent :)

Answer 41

so <NMO and <LMO are congruent?

Answer 42

correct! :)

Answer 43

yaayyyy!!! thank yoouuu!!

Answer 44

glad I could help :)

Answer 45

if i get stuck on a question next tome i have homework can i tag you?

Answer 46

of course :)

Answer 47

thanks!
