if you are given a diagonals of kite are perpendicular bisectors how can you prove the adjacent sides of a kite are congruent
I think by SAS
but how would you write it out
|dw:1467224641640:dw|
AE = EC because of definition of perpendicular bisector BE = BE, reflexive property. BAE = BCE, SAS BA = BC, CPCTC (corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent)
Anything you don't understand
too to prove the adjacent sides of the kite to see if their congruent you use SAS?
so*
Yes, first we prove that the two triangles formed are congruent then we say that the adjacent sides of congruent because of CPCTC. **Oh the letters I labeled for my drawing are different than what they gave you, oops
so for my answer i write you use SAS to prove that the two triangles formed are congruent
?
Yeah, I don't know how the question wants you to respond. Typically you write out the proof. But you understand everything I did?
yes thank you :) can you help me out with another one to make sure I'm correct?
