CHECK PLEASE

OpenStudy (tgstudios):

check :D

OpenStudy (dehydrated):

OpenStudy (tgstudios):

I think its A or D (your answer)

OpenStudy (tgstudios):

you have to look at the angles, it looks like the opposite side same corner angles al match. Then you have to look at the explanations like the ______ property of ______

OpenStudy (dehydrated):

@DanJS what do you think?

OpenStudy (danjs):

It is missing something.. one sec

OpenStudy (danjs):

you should say the diagonal AC = AC from reflexive property, before stating congruent triangles by angle side angle

OpenStudy (danjs):

They said congruent because of ASA, but never defined AC as part of both triangles as the side

OpenStudy (danjs):

OpenStudy (danjs):

Trying to prove oposite sides are equal... they draw diagonal and equate angles 1 to 1 and 2 to 2 Also need to state AC=AC --reflexive then you can call the two triangles congruent by ASA

OpenStudy (danjs):

you see ?

OpenStudy (dehydrated):

@DanJS YES and no. So what I'm seeing is that its not D

OpenStudy (dehydrated):

@DanJS

OpenStudy (danjs):

The thing starts with a parallelogram, and you need to show the opposite sides are equal... 1)States Sides are parallel - property of parallelogram 2)both pairs of diagonal angles are equal - alternate interior angles 2a) 3) The two triangles are congruent... - angle-side-angle

OpenStudy (dehydrated):

is it A? because the angle is interior?

OpenStudy (danjs):

they jumped to the step 3, and never said what sides are congruent first in the triangle, need step 2a) AC = AC reflexive property

OpenStudy (dehydrated):

I honestly just want a straight forward answer because I am sorta lost

OpenStudy (danjs):

|dw:1476467066203:dw|

OpenStudy (danjs):

need to state AC=AC before you can say the triangles are congruent from angle-side-angle

OpenStudy (dehydrated):

So they are congruent by the reflexive property

OpenStudy (dehydrated):

So its C?

OpenStudy (dehydrated):

@DanJS

OpenStudy (danjs):

yeah C.

OpenStudy (dehydrated):

THANK YOU1 IM SO SORRY FOR THE TROUBLE DAN <3

OpenStudy (danjs):

no trouble, just trying to explain it so you can see where the answer comes from....
