Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around geometry proofs, specifically focusing on congruence and relationships between angles and segments. Participants are preparing for an upcoming exam and seek assistance in understanding various proof concepts.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Conceptual clarification, Problem interpretation

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants share specific proof problems, questioning the relationships between segments and angles. They explore the implications of midpoints and congruence, while also seeking hints and clarifications on their reasoning.

Discussion Status

Some participants have provided hints and guidance to others, encouraging them to express their thoughts and reasoning. The discussion reflects a collaborative effort to understand the proofs, with various interpretations being explored without a clear consensus on all points.

Contextual Notes

Participants are working under the pressure of an upcoming exam, which may influence their urgency and approach to understanding the material. There are mentions of specific geometry concepts, such as supplementary angles and vertical angles, which are central to the proofs being discussed.

No sorry, 1 was the angle: 6=8=180-1=2=4. Hence 6 is congruent to 4.
 
  • #33
ooohh.. so we solved it??
 
  • #34
yup we sure did
 
  • #35
wow! well thanks, you helped a lot.. well, i guess i'll let you go now.. Thank you SO MUCH! :):):):):)

:).. Well they arent fun I can tell you that..

Also, for future reference, the subject of these questions is not Differential Geometry. In future, it may be better if you posted this in the Precalculus Maths section in the Homework Forum.

oh, :), I thought I did thanks..
 
  • #42
Isoceles triangles

I'm not sure on a question. Could someone help me?
 
  • #43


Ok i need a little help on this Proof.
Given: <1 and <2 are right angles
H is the midpoint of segment FK; FK ll HJ

Prove:FG is congruent to HJ
I have half of it done but I'm stuck on it. HELP!
