@jim_thompson5910

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

What work have you done? Please give it your best effort.

OpenStudy (sbuck98):

I was thinking #1 was asa.

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

@sbuck98 which blanks have you filled out so far?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

`I was thinking #1 was asa.` incorrect. Look closely at the instructions

OpenStudy (sbuck98):

Could you explain it to me?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

what does it say above the table?

OpenStudy (sbuck98):

To put the missing reasons

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

ok what does it say under "what are the missing reasons..."

OpenStudy (sbuck98):

That I have to prove the given reasons.

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

it says: Given segment MO bisects angle PMN that statement is repeated on the first line of the proof

OpenStudy (sbuck98):

So my reason would be OM bisects <pon? I think that's correct.

OpenStudy (sbuck98):

or can I just put given in the blank?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

the reason is simply "given". You're just restating what is given to you

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

whatever is stated in the instructions/problem is restated as "given". It's your starting point

OpenStudy (sbuck98):

OK I thought so!

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

what is the other "given" ?

OpenStudy (sbuck98):

pmo=mno

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

no, look back at the line that starts with "given"

OpenStudy (sbuck98):

#4

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

4? what do you mean?

OpenStudy (sbuck98):

#4 is another given reason.

OpenStudy (sbuck98):

om bisects pon

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

oh ok I see what you mean now

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yes correct

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

how about 2 and 3? what are the reasons for those?

OpenStudy (sbuck98):

lol it was faster then typing it! so I was thinking the reason for #2 would be asa

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

`the reason for #2 would be asa` incorrect

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

hint: line 2 depends on line 1

OpenStudy (sbuck98):

Could you further explain, that's the worst part of it for me:/

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

what does it mean when you bisect an angle?

OpenStudy (sbuck98):

split it into two

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

what do we know about the smaller angles?

OpenStudy (sbuck98):

they're congruent

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yep so that's why line 2 is dependent on line 1 the reason for line 2 is "definition of angle bisection" or basically what it means when we say that a segment bisects an angle

OpenStudy (sbuck98):

Okay! could you finish this problem with me still? I need help with you explaining it to me still bc I suck at it.

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

ok what is the reason for #3

OpenStudy (sbuck98):

it's a concoiding line the same line, congruent.

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

that has a special term: reflexive property of congruence

OpenStudy (sbuck98):

Thank you! I don't know the terms

OpenStudy (sbuck98):

#5 all of those angles are congruent to each other.

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

5 is basically the same as 2

OpenStudy (sbuck98):

yes

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

then finally 6 is ASA or ASA property of congruence

OpenStudy (sbuck98):

:) could you help with another?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

sure

OpenStudy (sbuck98):

OpenStudy (sbuck98):

I think it's definiton of angle bisection for #4

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

no

OpenStudy (sbuck98):

oh

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

hint: line 4 will use lines 1,2,3

OpenStudy (sbuck98):

so given & reflexive

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

another hint: it's a triangle congruence property

OpenStudy (sbuck98):

I don't know the terms

OpenStudy (sbuck98):

I know 5 is reflexive property of congruence

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

one of these four: AAS, ASA, SAS, SSS

OpenStudy (sbuck98):

ASA

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

why?

OpenStudy (sbuck98):

#5's wrong?:(

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

`I know 5 is reflexive property of congruence` incorrect

OpenStudy (sbuck98):

could you further explain these

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

why do you think #4 is ASA ?

OpenStudy (sbuck98):

because two angles and the side are congruent

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

do we have 2 pairs of congruent angles? or 1 pair?

OpenStudy (sbuck98):

1

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so we only have one A (not 2)

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

each letter of ASA means we have 2 pairs of angles, 1 pair of sides A = 1 pair of congruent angles S = 1 pair of congruent sides (between the two angles) A = 1 pair (different from the first pair) of congruent angles

OpenStudy (sbuck98):

so it's sas since we only have one angle

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

one pair of angles, yes

OpenStudy (sbuck98):

ok:) Can you help some more or you got to go?

OpenStudy (sbuck98):

these last ones aren't long problems
