Question

Help please!

If CD is perpendicular to BC, and CD is perpendicular to DE, and BD is congruent to CE, Then BC is congruent to ED

1 What is the information given in the conjecture? .
2.b. What do you have to prove to make this conjecture true?

Answer 1

I have marked up the figure to indicate the given information.

Answer 2

Would it be ASA?

Answer 3

@Directrix

Answer 4

No.

Answer 5

Triangle BCD is congruent to Triangle EDC by the HL Theorem.

Answer 6

Okay sorry I really don't understand any of this, and I don't understand the information you marked on the photo.

Answer 7

Oh okay I understand and know what the HL theorem is.

Answer 8

If CD is perpendicular to BC, and CD is perpendicular to DE, and BD is congruent to CE,

I looked at the stuff you were given and marked it up on the diagram.

Answer 9

To prove this: Then BC is congruent to ED.

You will have to prove the triangles congruent.

Answer 10

Okay i understand now so far but how do I do prove that they are congruent?

Answer 11

So, maybe this question is not about proving anything but just stating the Given and the To Prove based on the given information.

Answer 12

Do you think we are supposed to prove that the conjecture is true?

Answer 13

OH okay now I understand now.

Answer 14

This is the given information marked on the diagram after the two triangles were pulled apart.
