State the postulate or theorem that can be used to prove the triangles congruent. If you cannot prove the triangles congruent, select not enough information.
here, take a look at this table :) It's super helpful! http://prntscr.com/7q9tj6
omg thank you can you tell me if im right?
you're welcomeeee :D!! And sure, type up what you think the answers are and i'll tell you if you need to fix any :)
omg okay thanks!
ok for the first one i got SAS
one i got ASA
i mean second oops
thrid one i got sas
and fourth one i got ASA
are those correct??
1st one - SAS (correct) 2nd one- ASA (correct) 3rd one - SAS (incorrect) 4th one - ASA (incorrect) good try :) just re-attempt the 3rd and 4th one
ok thanks! give me a sec haha
okey dokeeyyyy
is the 3rd one sss?
yess :D!
and 4th asa?
yay!!!!!!!
4th one.. you said ASA the first time and that was incorrect :) first look at the triangle and tell me if it has 2 sides and 1 angle that match or 1 side and 2 angles that match
wait oops i meant to say sas
yyeeees :D excellent :)
omg yay thanks! i have another question can you help me on it?
you're welcomee :) sure, i can try to help though my geometry isn't very strong xD
Use the diagram below. Tell why each statement is true. ∠A ≅ ∠ C ∠AXB ≅ ∠CXD ∆ABX ≅ ∆CDX
oh dear.. I can do this question, but i'm not good (horrible) at explaining it xD So i'm sorry! But if you close this question and post it as a new post, someone else will SURELY help you step by step :))
hmmm idk you you try to explain it because if i see the answer maybe i can understand why that is the answer?
okay i can try but idk how well this will end LOL. So firstly, we want to state why angle A is CONGRUENT (equal) to angle C. Hint: we are given that \[AB // CD\] , so why would <A = <C ?
is it the reflexive property??
not quiteee. Do you know about alternate angles, corresponding angles and co-interior angles? :)
somewhat haha
okay, well between two parallel lines: these angles will be EQUAL because they are alternate angles. |dw:1436365370736:dw|
so if you look at your diagram, what would your reason be for why <A = <C ?
if lines are paraellel then alt interior angles are congruent?
yeeeeeeeeeeeeeees! :D
omg yay!!!!!!
ok now what about the other two questions??
what would be your reasoning for why these two angles are equal? :) |dw:1436365662993:dw|
