jhonyy9:

ok so triangle LKM similar triangle NOM to prove the similarity first statement what say ?

jhonyy9:

please collaborate

Jhandra:

first answer choice is Angle K is congruent to itself, due to the reflective property.

Timmyspu:

ok thats good

jhonyy9:

ok so @Timmyspu please dont interfer

Timmyspu:

ok sorry @jhonyy9

Jhandra:

Second choice is Angles MON and MKL are congruent, due to the corresponding angles postulate.

jhonyy9:

@Jhandra no stay on the first one please

Jhandra:

third choice is KM is a transversal intersecting LK and ON

Jhandra:

okay il stay on the first one

jhonyy9:

so attention pls we need prove that triangle LKM similar triangle NOM what you think we need to have there that angle K is congruent by it self when ok triangle LKM has angle K but triangle NOM dont have ?

jhonyy9:

do you understand my question pls ?

Jhandra:

it has a point

Jhandra:

like angle MON is a complete triangle and should equal about 180 ?

jhonyy9:

no the first statement say that angle K is congruent to itself so wen you need to prove the similarity of triangle LKM and triangle NOM why can be important in this proof the first statement ? triangle dont have an angle of K just triangle LKM so but we need to prove that triangle LKM similar triangle NOM so what you think bc. triangle NOM dont have angle K there is necessary this statement ?

Jhandra:

segment KL and segment ON are parallel

jhonyy9:

@Jhandra pls answer my question

Jhandra:

i dont know, im confused im sorry

jhonyy9:

@Imagine do you can explain her more understandably pls. ?

jhonyy9:

triangle LKM similar triangle NOM @Jhandra look pls bc. triangle NOM dont have angle K so in this proof dont need this statement

Jhandra:

ohh okay so answer choice one is ruled out

jhonyy9:

exactly

Jhandra:

okay okay

Jhandra:

and answer choice b can be ruled out because there are no corresponding angles?

jhonyy9:

no choice b is true what say

Jhandra:

okay

jhonyy9:

angle O and angle K are corresponding angles

jhonyy9:

any questions ?

Jhandra:

no i think i understand it thanks

Jhandra:

would you mind helping with another?

jhonyy9:

yw my pleasure anytime yes of cors just post it in a new column and tag me there pls.
