Does anybody?

Does anyone know how to do Geometry Proofs? Help please!!!!

EDIT: I added some of those congruent sides, so just ignore them xD

Ok well, you already have that angle 1 is congruent to angle 3, which is congruent to angle 2. If two angles are congruent, the sides opposite them are of equal length. I don't know how to "officially" contruct a proof, but I know that that's the reason why they are equal. XD

If two angles are congruent, the sides opposite them are of equal length

Oh oh! I see it! But do you know what the *reason* why the other sides are congruent to those two angles?

Other sides?

The fact that sides BC and CD are of equal length because the angles opposite them (angleDAC & angleCAB) is just a mathematical theorem. If two triangles have congruent angles it is possible that they have congruent sides as well. Because the sides in question lie on the same line (one is not "further away" from their angle than the other) it can be assumed that the sides are of equal length.

*shrug* I took geometry years ago, so I don't remember specifics. Sorry. =/

Okay! I get it now, I'll put that fact down as my reason :D Thanks for the help Peanut! :)

Oy.. so this is what Gemo looks like, huh? I'm seriously scared right now. X.X

Im sorry I cant help you though :( <3 good luck!

Yeah, those are proofs *points* LOL!

I'm sure you will understand it, once you do a couple :)

*nods* Same,I'm taking geometry next year in 9th grade.

Goodluck! :D
