@zepdrix @sweetburger pls help guys

OpenStudy (kittiwitti1):

I'm pretty sure LN=LN is because they're the same line...

OpenStudy (seratul):

Aka, reflexive property

ILovePuppiesLol (ilovepuppieslol):

ty

OpenStudy (seratul):

What do you think would be next?

ILovePuppiesLol (ilovepuppieslol):

im not sure

OpenStudy (seratul):

Well, we have two same angles and one same side, so what would that be?

OpenStudy (seratul):

Well, i'll just tell you. It would be Side-Angle-Angle congruence theorem, aka SAA

OpenStudy (kittiwitti1):

As Seratul said, SAA theorem makes the two triangles congruent... thus, the third angle pair should also have congruence.

OpenStudy (kittiwitti1):

by law of congruent/similar triangles.

ILovePuppiesLol (ilovepuppieslol):

im so confused

OpenStudy (kittiwitti1):

Where are you confused?

OpenStudy (kittiwitti1):

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

OpenStudy (kittiwitti1):

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

OpenStudy (kittiwitti1):

does that make more sense or?

@ILovePuppiesLol are you still stuck o: ?
