Question 34729: Given:In triangle DEF, line segment DE is congruent to line segment EG.
Prove:Measure angle EDF is larger than measure angle F.
Proof:
Statements
1.In triangle DEF, line segment
DE is congruent to line segment EG.
Reason: 1.Given
2.DE is equal to EG
Reason:2.Definition of congruent segments
3.EG plus GF is equal to EF
Reason:3.Addition Property
4.EF>EG
Reason:4. Defintion of >
5.EF>DE
Reason:5.Substitution Property
6. therefore Measure angle EDF is
Reason:6.?
larger than measure angle F.

You can put this solution on YOUR website! CORRECT .BUT ONCE AGAIN YOU DID NOT MENTION IN THE PROBLEM WHAT IS G.YOU SHOULD WRITE FIRST THAT G IS A POINT ON EF SUCH THAT DE=EG.ASSUMING SO YOUR PROOF IS OK IS IT NANI?
UNDER REASON 6 ,YOU MAY WRITE THAT IN A TRIANGLE (DEF HERE), IF ONE SIDE (EF)IS LARGER THAN ANOTHER SIDE(DE) ,THEN ANGLE OPPOSITE THE LARGER SIDE(ANGLE D )IS GREATER THAN THE ANGLE OPPOSITE THE SMALLER SIDE(ANGLE F).
