Please Help. Will Fan and Medal Geometry Worksheet 10 Questions

OpenStudy (i_need_help_please):

im about to put the questions.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Please pay attention in class, so you don't have to ask for your entire homework answer.

OpenStudy (i_need_help_please):

I do pay attention in class. I just have never understood proofs and always have trouble. Im asking for help not answers.

OpenStudy (i_need_help_please):

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

I love proofs! We'll do this together!

OpenStudy (i_need_help_please):

Awesome! Maybe when were done I wont hate them as much.

OpenStudy (i_need_help_please):

Can we start on the first question? What im confused about with proofs is i get confused with all of the terms and what it could be and i usually dont pick the right postulate or definition.

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

Sure, sorry, mom called haha

OpenStudy (i_need_help_please):

oh okay. lol

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

Okay, we have AB is congruent to DE, and that's given. What's another given that's not already on the proof?

OpenStudy (i_need_help_please):

<f and <c are congruent

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

Are we looking at the same problem?

OpenStudy (i_need_help_please):

im looking at number 1.

OpenStudy (i_need_help_please):

oh wait.. i get what your saying.. another given is b=~ e A=~D

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

There is nothing labeled C in #1 though

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

Okay, there we go. A \(\cong\) D is in the next step, so we know that B \(\cong\) E has to be in the second step

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

Oh wait, there is a C. Shows how blind I am :)

OpenStudy (i_need_help_please):

okay so 2. is A=~ D

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

Yep, and we just figured out that A \(\cong\) D is a given, so that will be 3

OpenStudy (i_need_help_please):

okay

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

Now, do you know the triangle theorems such as side angle side, angle side side, etc?

OpenStudy (i_need_help_please):

what is the reason that the two triangles are congruent? I think i know them but not very well. I get mixed up with all of them

OpenStudy (i_need_help_please):

would this be congruent by the angle angle side theorem?

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

That's fine :) We have an angle, a side then another angle, so how we figure this out, is just put them in order of where they are. |dw:1449678033010:dw|

OpenStudy (i_need_help_please):

Oh okay i see. I always confuse myself.

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

haha, I used to hate proofs, but now I love them because I've had some time to process all of the information needed :)

OpenStudy (i_need_help_please):

So, for number 2, 1 and 2 for the staments are PQ=~RS and ,PQS=~RSQ?

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

Yes!

OpenStudy (i_need_help_please):

and number 3's reason is the adjacent angles postulate or theorem?

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

Now for #3 in question 2, do you know what the reflexive property is? Basically a = a, or x + y = x+y

OpenStudy (i_need_help_please):

yes.

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

That's what we're going to use for #3, QS = QS, reflexive property of congruence

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

Basically saying, x = x

OpenStudy (i_need_help_please):

okay and number 4 is SAS?

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

Yes!

OpenStudy (i_need_help_please):

will the last one always be one of the SAS ASA or one of those?
