Finding a mistake in proofs I have a question here and it gives me what appears to be an isosceles triangle ABC with B being the top vertex. He needs to prove BCD is congruent to BAD. So, he set up his proofs like this: 1 BCA congruent to CAB (Given) 2 Construct BE as a perpendicular bisector (Construction) 3 m

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Is there a figure? Also what is given and what are you trying to prove?

OpenStudy (aaronrocky):

I typed the question poorly, one second while I update it

OpenStudy (aaronrocky):

@mathstudent55 I updated the question for better understanding, I also do have a picture if that will help

OpenStudy (aaronrocky):

I am thinking #6 is one wrong

OpenStudy (aaronrocky):

I figured it out.... #6 was trying to use CTPCT before a triangle was proven congruent, and #8 should be SSS

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

I see you already answered the question. I can't check on your answer because I still don't know where points D and E are. Also, I don't know what was given and what is being asked to be proved.

OpenStudy (aaronrocky):

@mathstudent55 it's fine haha, also thats all it gave me no points on the picture it gave
