Please Help. Will Fan and Medal Geometry Worksheet 10 Questions
im about to put the questions.
Please pay attention in class, so you don't have to ask for your entire homework answer.
I do pay attention in class. I just have never understood proofs and always have trouble. Im asking for help not answers.
I love proofs! We'll do this together!
Awesome! Maybe when were done I wont hate them as much.
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.
Sure, sorry, mom called haha
oh okay. lol
Okay, we have AB is congruent to DE, and that's given. What's another given that's not already on the proof?
<f and <c are congruent
Are we looking at the same problem?
im looking at number 1.
oh wait.. i get what your saying.. another given is b=~ e A=~D
There is nothing labeled C in #1 though
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
Oh wait, there is a C. Shows how blind I am :)
okay so 2. is A=~ D
Yep, and we just figured out that A \(\cong\) D is a given, so that will be 3
okay
Now, do you know the triangle theorems such as side angle side, angle side side, etc?
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
would this be congruent by the angle angle side theorem?
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|
Oh okay i see. I always confuse myself.
haha, I used to hate proofs, but now I love them because I've had some time to process all of the information needed :)
So, for number 2, 1 and 2 for the staments are PQ=~RS and ,PQS=~RSQ?
Yes!
and number 3's reason is the adjacent angles postulate or theorem?
Now for #3 in question 2, do you know what the reflexive property is? Basically a = a, or x + y = x+y
yes.
That's what we're going to use for #3, QS = QS, reflexive property of congruence
Basically saying, x = x
okay and number 4 is SAS?
Yes!
will the last one always be one of the SAS ASA or one of those?
