PLEASE HELP ME IM HORRIBLE AT THIS
Part A:
If ∠D is a right angle and lines PN, FG, and BD are parallel to each other, prove
trianlge SPN ~ triangle SFG ~ triangle SBD .
Statement Reason
1. 𝑃𝑁̅̅̅̅ ∥ 𝐹𝐺̅̅̅̅ ∥ 𝐵𝐷̅̅̅̅
2. ∠𝐷, ∠𝑆𝐺𝐹, and ∠𝑆𝑁𝑃 are
corresponding angles
3. 𝑚∠𝐷 = 𝑚∠𝑆𝐺𝐹 = 𝑚∠𝑆𝑁𝑃
4. ∠𝐵, ∠𝑆𝐹𝐺, and ∠𝑆𝑃𝑁 are
corresponding angles
5. 𝑚∠𝐵 = 𝑚∠𝑆𝐹𝐺 = 𝑚∠𝑆𝑁𝑃
6. ∆ 𝑆𝑃𝑁 ~ ∆𝑆𝐹𝐺 ~∆𝑆𝐵𝐷

U see why?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
because they told us that those lines are parallel in the question?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok now how do we figure out the others?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
not sure abt 2

3 is corresponding angles are congruent
OpenStudy (anonymous):
5 is the same
OpenStudy (anonymous):
6 is AA similarity postulate
OpenStudy (anonymous):
dude thanks so much
OpenStudy (anonymous):
what about 4?

4 and 2 are the same. it is probably something obvious
OpenStudy (anonymous):
its not given is it?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no
OpenStudy (anonymous):
im sorry im really bad at these. i have no idea what it could be
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ah i think I know what it is. Definition of Cooresponding angles
