ibrafacts · Answer

here are the my answer i am not sure please HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ibrafacts · Answer

anyone want to help me out please????

danjs · Answer

you have to start with the given, then show the congruent triangles from those things, you cant start with the conclusion

danjs · Answer

A -- HF=HT,  that is the first sentence in the thing

danjs · Answer

B -- given,  the second sentence says just that stuff

ibrafacts · Answer

ohhhh

danjs · Answer

remember reflexive is like saying the obvious ,  like a = a

ibrafacts · Answer

i am pretty sure c is right??? right?

danjs · Answer

yeah same shared side, reflexive, they are the same length of course

danjs · Answer

so now you have 2 sides and an angle that are the same,  you can say congruent triangles now from the side-angle - side  SAS  rule.. remember that

ibrafacts · Answer

so d is SAS side

danjs · Answer

no, D is a statement,  E is the reason

D--congruent triangle, like you have in A now
E-- because of SAS rule

ibrafacts · Answer

oh so d is fs=st that proves its sas for e

danjs · Answer

no, it already has the SAS from the given information, now you can say THS=FHS congruent triangles  for D

danjs · Answer

because of SAS, that is E

ibrafacts · Answer

oh i see it now

danjs · Answer

then, now that you showed the triangles are congruent,  the third unknown sides  FS  and ST  must be the same

danjs · Answer

because of CPCF, i forget what that stands for,  corresponding sides of congruent triangles are ...

danjs · Answer

congruent

danjs · Answer

you have to start with nothing, and move logically to the conclusion using only what is given

ibrafacts · Answer

i am pretty sure cpcf is g becuase my teacher told me it can only be a prove not a statement

danjs · Answer

yes, that is the reason you can say
F -- HT = HF
because
G -- corresonding sides of congruent triangles are the same,  CPCF thing

ibrafacts · Answer

wait so a is not ht=hf???

danjs · Answer

oh, sorry,  mistyped the last thing

F -- FS = ST

thine thing you are trying to get to

danjs · Answer

ibrafacts · Answer

oh i get it now
