Please Help will give medal!!! (pic below)
I'm sure you know what goes in statement #2
is statment 2 SV || TU
yes because that's also given to you
they made a mistake when it comes to making up this table one of the statements should be ST || VU because a parallelogram is a 4 sided figure with opposite sides that are parallel. So if you can show ST || VU is true, then you can use that along with SV || TU to say VUTS is a parallelogram but I don't see how to fit ST || VU on statement 3 because you need a statement before that saying how angle TUS = angle VSU and then you use the converse of the alternate interior angle theorem to show ST || VU is true In short, there's not enough lines to do a proper proof here
I think 2 more lines are needed
Then again, I guess you could use the rule given here http://www.regentsprep.org/regents/math/geometry/gp9/lparallelogram.htm "Combo: If ONE PAIR of opposite sides of a quadrilateral are BOTH parallel and congruent, the quadrilateral is a parallelogram" but may not be what your teacher wants
im confused
yeah same here since it seems like there isn't enough room
and that I don't know what your teacher is looking for
it would be handy if your teacher gave you a list of theorems
i know right
my best guess
do you know 7 or 8
3)Diagonals Bisect 7)Corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent. SX =XT and VX=XU 8)If the diagonals of a quadrilateral bisect each other, the quadrilateral is a parallelogram.
Right?
thank you sooooo much
@DanJS would 7 also be considered SAS?
Side angle side?
In the givens, they tell you that the two triangles are congruent. SAS is used in proving congruent triangles.
