here, take a look at this table :) It's super helpful! http://prntscr.com/7q9tj6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

omg thank you can you tell me if im right?

OpenStudy (butterflydreamer):

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 :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

omg okay thanks!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok for the first one i got SAS

OpenStudy (anonymous):

one i got ASA

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i mean second oops

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thrid one i got sas

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and fourth one i got ASA

OpenStudy (anonymous):

are those correct??

OpenStudy (butterflydreamer):

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thanks! give me a sec haha

OpenStudy (butterflydreamer):

okey dokeeyyyy

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is the 3rd one sss?

OpenStudy (butterflydreamer):

yess :D!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and 4th asa?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yay!!!!!!!

OpenStudy (butterflydreamer):

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait oops i meant to say sas

OpenStudy (butterflydreamer):

yyeeees :D excellent :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

omg yay thanks! i have another question can you help me on it?

OpenStudy (butterflydreamer):

you're welcomee :) sure, i can try to help though my geometry isn't very strong xD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Use the diagram below. Tell why each statement is true. ∠A ≅ ∠ C ∠AXB ≅ ∠CXD ∆ABX ≅ ∆CDX

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (butterflydreamer):

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 :))

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmmm idk you you try to explain it because if i see the answer maybe i can understand why that is the answer?

OpenStudy (butterflydreamer):

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 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it the reflexive property??

OpenStudy (butterflydreamer):

not quiteee. Do you know about alternate angles, corresponding angles and co-interior angles? :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

somewhat haha

OpenStudy (butterflydreamer):

okay, well between two parallel lines: these angles will be EQUAL because they are alternate angles. |dw:1436365370736:dw|

OpenStudy (butterflydreamer):

so if you look at your diagram, what would your reason be for why <A = <C ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if lines are paraellel then alt interior angles are congruent?

OpenStudy (butterflydreamer):

yeeeeeeeeeeeeeees! :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

omg yay!!!!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok now what about the other two questions??

OpenStudy (butterflydreamer):

what would be your reasoning for why these two angles are equal? :) |dw:1436365662993:dw|
