Algebra.Com's Answer #86036 by bucky(2189)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Here's a rough cut at it and you can clean it up to make it meet your teacher's standards: \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "Given: Triangle ABD with C being a point on the line segment BD. Segment AC congruent (cong.) \n" ); document.write( "to segment AB \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "Prove mB (measure of angle B) > mD (measure of angle D). \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "1. segment AC cong. to segment AB .... Given \n" ); document.write( "2. Triangle ABC is isosceles .... Definition of isosceles ... two sides cong. \n" ); document.write( "3. mB = mBCA ... In isosceles triangle measure of angles opposite cong. sides are equal \n" ); document.write( "4. For Triangle ACD mBCA > mD ... exterior angle greater than either alternate interior angle \n" ); document.write( "5. mB > mD ... Substitution of mB (Step 3) for its equal mBCA in Step 4 \n" ); document.write( "6. QED \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "Hopefully this all makes sense. You may have to study it a while before it becomes apparent \n" ); document.write( "what was done here. I hope that you've studied the theorems that are used above so that I \n" ); document.write( "haven't used something that you are not familiar with ... \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "If you have problems, re-post and some other tutor may be able to explain it better. \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( " |
