Write out, in paragraph form, a plan for completing the following proof.
For example, will you prove triangles congruent? How? By what theorem?
Given:
AR = AQ
RT = QS
Prove:
∠RAT = ∠QAS
Still Need Help?

@dayakar can you help me??
OpenStudy (dayakar):
in triangle ARQ,
AR =AQ [GIVEN]
from this what type of triangle ARQ is?

isosceles

@dayakar
OpenStudy (dayakar):
very good
then
<R = <Q [ base angles are equal]
OpenStudy (natasha18):
@dayakar ok so is that it?
OpenStudy (dayakar):
wait for some time

@dayakar huh? what am I waiting for?
OpenStudy (dayakar):
Draw triangle RAT and triangle QAS
Compare like this
AR = AQ (side ) (given)
Anglr R = angle Q (angle ) (we prooved)
RT = QS (side)(given in the problem)
There fore
Triangle RAT is congruent to triangle QAT
Angle RAT = angle QAS (cpct)
