ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\(\cong \) do you know what that symbol means ?

OpenStudy (sbuck98):

I just needed it to be explained on how to solve it. and congruent

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

good, when the triangles are congruent, the corresponding "angles" are congruent

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\(6x = 30\) solve \(x\)

OpenStudy (sbuck98):

5

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Yep

OpenStudy (sbuck98):

Oh thanks! I thought it was a long process!!

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

you knew many things already.... so it is easy for you :)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

#5 seems a bit confusing

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

lets try and make sense of whats going on..

OpenStudy (sbuck98):

I was confused on 5 I can solve simple ones like #5 but not the hard ones.

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

see if below makes sense for a) congruent supplementary angles are right angles

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

b) definition of right triangle

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

c) Given.

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

see if that looks okay so far, they must be pretty straightforward

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

step d refers to a property of equality, see if you can figure it out

OpenStudy (sbuck98):

it does! would you help with a few more?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\(a = a\) what property of equality is that ?

OpenStudy (sbuck98):

D is reflexive property of congruence right?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Excellent !

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

what about e any guess ?

OpenStudy (sbuck98):

E is SSS?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Nope, we don't know all 3 sides in the triangles

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

use the fact that we have "right" triangles

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

what congruence theorems do you know that apply specifically to right triangles ?

OpenStudy (sbuck98):

definition of angle bisection

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

that is not a congruence theorem

OpenStudy (sbuck98):

:/

OpenStudy (sbuck98):

I don't know

OpenStudy (sbuck98):

Thank you

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

yw

OpenStudy (sbuck98):

Could you help some more if I open a new thing?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

I'll try..
