Is this correct? http://prntscr.com/970xlk

#4 is not correct #5, make sure to say \[\Large \angle A \cong \angle D\] notice how I'm using the congruence symbol for #1 and #7 use the congruence symbol \(\Large \cong\) instead of the equal sign

pooja195 (pooja195):

Got it #4 i knew wasn't correct....im not sure about that one :/

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

`angle A and angle D are right angles` is the statement the reason why this statement is true is because of statement 2 and statement 3 When it says \(\Large AB \perp AD\) That upside down T symbol means "perpendicular" AB is perpendicular to AD, so a right angle forms at angle DAB or just angle A for short similarly, \(\Large DE \perp AD\) so a right angle forms at angle CDE or just angle D for short that's why `angle A and angle D are right angles`

pooja195 (pooja195):

Oh wow I feel dumb for not knowing that perpendicular lines form 4 right angles ;p thank you soo much :)

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

you're welcome

pooja195 (pooja195):

Wait so the reason would be perp. lines form 4 right angles? :/

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

if two lines are perpendicular, then they form a right angle saying `definition of perpendicular lines` is a shorthand way of saying the above this is one proof that does the same http://hotmath.com/hotmath_help/topics/perpendicular-transversal-theorem.html

Got it thanks! :)
