Question

Math help please.

Answer 1

@Angle

Answer 2

hmm... is there a diagram that we can look at?

Answer 3

i attached the problem to it

Answer 4

I think you mis-posted one of the attachments, would you mind checking that?
I'm not sure what the triangle is supposed to look like

Answer 5

wonderful! that was exactly what I was looking for! thanks :D

now,
do you know which pairs of angles are corresponding angles?

Answer 6

youre welcome and i have a general idea, yes

Answer 7

so which two angles in your problem do you think are corresponding angles to each other?

Answer 8

<4 = <1
or
<4 = <2
?
etc

Answer 9

<4 = <1 ?

Answer 10

perfect!
so which of your options says that? :)

Answer 11

<4 = <1, <3 = <2

Answer 12

exactly! ^_^

Answer 13

yay, so would that go in the corresponding postulate box?

Answer 14

angles i mean

Answer 15

yup!

Answer 16

and would angle angle similarity go in the next box?

Answer 17

exactly! :D

Answer 18

great, what about the last box cause im confused on it

Answer 19

oh yeah, that is a little confusing:
here's how we reason this...
for the "Definition of similar triangles" row, we have CA / CB
then in the "segment addition postulate" row, we have CA = CB + BA

then in the next row (with the missing box)
we have (CB + BA) / CB
So it looks like they plugged in CA = CB + BA into the CA/CB row

does that make sense?

Answer 20

so substitution?

Answer 21

yup!

Answer 22

awesome, would you mind helping me with the last 3?

Answer 23

sure! ^_^ I don't mind :)

Answer 24

thanks so much i appreciate it a lot

Answer 25

We want the angles in this picture to be equal to each other,
if we think about how BA and FC are parallel, what type of angles would you consider these two angles to be?

Answer 26

alternate interior?

Answer 27

yup!
so your answer for that row would be exactly that ^_^

Answer 28

cool :)

Answer 29

and for the next box?

Answer 30

the row after the next box wants to say that triangle ADB and triangle FDC are equal to each other
so what is the vertical angle we're going to need?
>what is the vertical angle these two triangles have in common?

Answer 31

abd abc

Answer 32

not quite...
these are vertical angles:

Answer 33

oh, so adb cdf since its the only other option XD

Answer 34

lol I guess you can think of it that way x'D

Answer 35

corresponding for the last box?

Answer 36

hmmm I don't think so

so far, we have that
angle BAD and angle CFD are equal
and that
angle ADB and angle CDF are equal

then we want to say the two triangles are similar

Answer 37

okay, so they would be similar with the AA similarity?

Answer 38

yup! perfect ^_^

Answer 39

awesome, ill post the next one :)

Answer 40

close this post and open a new one so @Angle can get more medals

Answer 41

ahahaha not exactly the right reasoning there Bob x'D

Answer 42

yussss

Answer 43

okayy then
