OpenStudy (deerhunter15):

they are both the same thing

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do the answers in the second go to the first

OpenStudy (deerhunter15):

answers go in a blank

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the answer is E

OpenStudy (deerhunter15):

howd you get that answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

look at the picture. see where it says that <1 is congruent to <5 that is also congruent to <8?

OpenStudy (deerhunter15):

mhm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that means that <1 is congruent to <8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now see where it say that <2 is congruent to <6 which is also congruent to <7?

OpenStudy (deerhunter15):

mhm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that means that <2 is congruent to <7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is that all

OpenStudy (deerhunter15):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hit me with your best shot

OpenStudy (deerhunter15):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3, 1, 5, 2, 4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

any more

OpenStudy (deerhunter15):

I think thats it thank you so much

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no prob and thank you for the medal @deerhunter15

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you need help @xxmavrkmscotxX

OpenStudy (alfordabby):

Can you help me with Geometry?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes I can

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is the question

OpenStudy (alfordabby):

Prove the Pythagorean Theorem using similar triangles. The Pythagorean Theorem states that in a right triangle, the sum of the squares of the lengths of the legs of the triangle equals the squared length of the hypotenuse. Be sure to create and name the appropriate geometric figures.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@alfordabby it is the same concept for them both because the Pythagorean theorem is used on any triangle that you can think of

OpenStudy (alfordabby):

This is what I have so far... I would first draw a right triangle with sides a, b, and c (c is the hypotenuse) then according to the theorem, the length of c^2 = a^2 + b^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (alfordabby):

Do I need to add anything?

OpenStudy (alfordabby):

to what i have

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the theorem can be used on the two triangles that you have

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so when you plug in A, B, and C as your sides of the triangle you have the same theorem as the Pythagorean theorem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so there for you can use the theorem on any triangle that you need to

OpenStudy (alfordabby):

ok, i think i got it. thank you :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no problem. tell your other fans to post here if they need help pleas

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I am tired of searching for the questions

OpenStudy (alfordabby):

okay :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you
