hmmm how do you know the \(\bf \overline{RT}\cong \overline{ED}\)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im not sure :(

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

welll let's take a peek at those triangles

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

one sec

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay thank you so much

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

so, on the 1st triangle we have |dw:1453511551593:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

40?

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

all internal angles in a triangle = 180 thus 80 + 60 + x = 180 x = 180 -80-60 x = 180 - 140 x - 40 yes so, lets take a look at the other triangle now |dw:1453511834397:dw|

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

actually.. hold the mayo, lemme redo that graph

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

|dw:1453511928600:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

80

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

well... or better put |dw:1453511972146:dw|

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

well... yes is 80 because 180 - 60 - 40 = 180 - 100 = 80 so let's see both graphs again one sec

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay thank you

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

|dw:1453512077560:dw|

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

both have the same angles and have 1 common side so, one could use ASA or SAS for congruence

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes !

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

and notice the pictures RT is congruent with? well, with FD :)

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

|dw:1453512372552:dw|
