can you help please
@3mar another hard one please help
Of course. I will not be late for any help.
Where the triangle ONE?
@3mar thank you! I'm not really sure where to start here and how to word it.
Don't mention that! I am here for your help. Where the triangle ONE that is stated to be proved?
@3mar well it mentions ONE at line 8. ΔOLE ≅ ΔONE
where is its graph?
@3mar omg sorry here
This is ONL, where ONE?
there isn't ONE does that mean 8 is wrong?
unless ONE is reall the triangle bisected |dw:1479609493632:dw|
really*
No, it does not, but now we are going to prove that triangles ONL and ONE are congruent, and we have one, where is the other?
@3mar it says Draw OE as a perpendicular bisector to LN by Construction creating ONE ?
2 Draw OE as a perpendicular bisector to LN by Construction 3 m∠LEO = 90° Definition of a Perpendicular Bisector 4 m∠NEO = 90° Definition of a Perpendicular Bisector 5 LE ≅ EN Definition of a Perpendicular Bisector 6 OL ≅ ON CPCTC - (this can't be right?) 7 ∠LEO ≅ ∠NEO Substitution Property of Equality 8 ΔOLE ≅ ΔONE Angle-Side-Angle (ASA) Postulate (this should be SSS?)
Sorry, my mistake. I did not found it in the heading of the question and I did not read all the steps. Sorry for that. So let's start?
@3mar yes, and its no biggy.
Ok. Steps from 1 to 4 are correct!
@3mar ok so that means that the two wrong ones are after that (I think six is wrong but I wouldn't know how to explain it)
"so that means that the two wrong ones are after that" That is right! Can we walk step by step starting from 5 and check every step to make sure where are the two wrong steps exactly?
@3mar yes
Excellent! so what about 5?
LE ≅ EN Definition of a Perpendicular Bisector that's right (?)
because its perpendicular to a side of a triangle and passes through its midpoint
the*
LE ≅ EN Definition of a Perpendicular Bisector that's right \[\Huge\color{Coral}\checkmark\] so that 5 is correct also
@3mar OL ≅ ON CPCTC this is wrong because they aren't complete triangles?
Did you correct the errors before sending the pic?
@3mar no
@3mar all I need to figure out is whats wrong and how to correct it (I have to write it out)
"OL ≅ ON CPCTC this is wrong because they aren't complete triangles?" Yes, that is right, because we did not prove that the triangles are congruent yet. agree?
@3mar yes
You are Awesome! next?
I know 7 is right, that leaves 8.
@3mar why would 8 be wrong though?
but why must 8 be wrong?
@3mar because we don't know the angles so it has to be SSS right?
We already know - one pair of angles (the right angles) - one pair of equal sides (LE = NE) - one pair of equal angles (those are given) So it is ASA. am I right!?
@3mar OH wait you are nevermind so that actually means 7 is wrong
I just discuss it with you. is my point is considered?
@3mar I'm kinda lost now, we know 6 is wrong but what else?
WAIT ARE YOU SAYING 7 IS MEANT TO BE ASA?
By the way, "we know 6 is wrong", what is its correction?
@3mar reflexive property
No, reflexive property is for the same side! like that|dw:1479612167851:dw|
