@Vocaloid @Gdeinward
I need to create a two column proof
Goooooood mornin Nicole.
Gooood mornin lol
that better?
yes ma'm
do you have any ideas?
Im not sure tbh
are you familiar with SAS?
Yes two triangles are congruent if two sides and the included angle of one triangle are congruent to two sides and the included angle of another triangle.
that is correct so we allready know two sides that are equivalent
All we need is the angle.
but we need to make a two column proof
so you must start by having our statments on the left, and your explanation on the right.
yes
so essentially all you do is list your steps. We started by saying that two sides of the triangles are euqivalent, so we would say, EA = CA on the left, and say given n the right.
then we would do the same for the next set of lines
Yes but for the rest, I am not sure of
if I am correct, do you recall the vertical angles theorem?
yes that the angles are vertical to each other
@Vocaloid ?
not only that, but the Vertical Angles Theorem states that vertical angles, angles that are opposite each other and formed by two intersecting lines, are congruent.
so using this we can say that the angles CAB and DAE ar equivalent. Therefore, we have SAS.
Got it
