Rectangle ABCD and rectangle EFGH are similar. Provide a proof that supports this. what I have so far: AB=CD BC=AD A,B,=C,D, B,C,=A,D, (definition of a rectangle) angle A= 90 degrees angle B= 90 degrees angle C= 90 degrees angle D = 90 degrees angle A,= 90 degrees angle B,= 90 degrees angle C,= 90 degrees angle D,= 90 degrees (definition of a rectangle) angle A= angle A, angle B= angle B, angle C= angle C, angle D= angle D, (i do not have the reason for this one) any help please?
Mostly you have to prove that the sides are in proportion. Because they are rectangles, we already know then angles are same.
And btw, if angle A = Angle A, and etc. this is called reflexive property
Oh okay, so my next step would be AB=A,B,?
? What?
after reflexive property, I would need to prove that the sides are proportionate right? So that would be AB=A,B,
what is AB = A,B, There is no such thing?
Line AB and line A,B,? The two different rectangles
The two rectangles are ABCD and EFGH
if you're saying whatever "A,B," is EF then it is not reflexive property
Oh no thats where the confusion is, the two rectangles are ABCD and A,B,C,D, im sorry
Therefore if angle A = angle E, then it is substitution property i believe
