Let ABC be any triangle. Draw line DE, which passes through point A, parallel to __________ with a compass and straightedge. According to the Angle Addition Postulate ∡DAC + ∡CAB + ∡BAE = ∡DAE. ∡DAC is congruent to ∡BCA by______________________. ∡BAE is congruent to ____________ by the same theorem. Substitution allows me to replace ∡DAC with ∡BCA and ∡BAE with ∡ABC in the equation. Therefore, __________________________= ∡DAE. By definition of a straight angle, ∡DAE measures ____________. Consequently, the three angles of ABC (BCA, CAB, and ABC) measure 180° by ___________.
2. Fill in the missing blanks below to prove that the Sum of the measures of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°.
i need help, what are supposed to go in the blanks? are the theorems supposed to go there? i need to know. :(

Let ABC be any triangle. Draw line DE, which passes through point A, parallel to __________ can you draw it ?
i cant :( lthough that would be really helpful. im not good with drawing these things. would you mnd walking me through this? :( @jayzdd
@jayzdd can you tell me if im right? imm not sure|dw:1445976789671:dw|
@tanya123 whered you go :(
Let me draw this out real quick, ok.
ok
I am going to number the blanks from 1 to 6, k?
1. perpendicular bisector
ok
One sec.
kk
Im waiting for an answer from a friend, she is much better at this, and then you won't get it wrong on my account. Bc I really want you to get a good grade. :)
thanks! thats very nice of you! :)
np.
Aw, you didn't have to give me a medal! Thank you, anyways! :) I would fan you, but Im already ur fan. LOL
XD ofcourse i gotta!
XDDD
By definition of a straight angle, angle DAE measures 180 degrees
6. by Triangle Angle-Sum Theorem
Im trying to answer as much as I know, from the top of my head.
Do you know what the TAST is? ^
It states that the sum of a triangle's angles always = 180.
thats what it means? would the triangle be dividd in angles? and have to add up to 180 degrees?
Right.
You don't need to divide anything.
oh lol im still trying to decipher this
I know, all I could c was all of the angle sides, I almost didn't want to help. But I'm not that kind of person so.. :)
My friend is working on it right now!! You'll have your answers soon! Sorry for the wait my friend.
its fine~ :) thank you so much! i highly appreciate it :)
Ok, so I figured out something. You drew it wrong, so scratch the perpendicular bisector. The way you should have drawn it is so:
OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH i see what ya did there :o
|dw:1445982899807:dw|
LIKE THIS?
Yes, w/o the extra line on the bottom.
|dw:1445983048706:dw|
Do you know how to figure the rest out? I can send you a list of theorems and postulates to fill in the blanks with.
can you pleae? i can try, would you stay and see if im right? lol
sure, but I will be working on my science at the same time so... :)
undertandable :)
I hope that helps!
thanks! ill try and fill in the blanks with these
