@zepdrix @sweetburger pls help guys
I'm pretty sure LN=LN is because they're the same line...
Aka, reflexive property
ty
What do you think would be next?
im not sure
Well, we have two same angles and one same side, so what would that be?
Well, i'll just tell you. It would be Side-Angle-Angle congruence theorem, aka SAA
As Seratul said, SAA theorem makes the two triangles congruent... thus, the third angle pair should also have congruence.
by law of congruent/similar triangles.
im so confused
Where are you confused?
Starting over: Blank 1) Reflexive property (the measure of a line equals itself); Blank 2) SAA, Side Angle Angle theorem, makes the two triangles congruent; Blank 3) As a result, the congruent triangles have congruent angles and respective side lengths. Thus you have LM = NO
SAA comes from two things - the fact that you are given two congruent angle pairs, \(\angle ONL=\angle MLN\) and the right angles \(\angle O\) and \(\angle M\)... and the shared side length LN, which is equal to itself by the Reflexive property
does that make more sense or?
@ILovePuppiesLol are you still stuck o: ?
