Question 955644: I do not understand proofs at all and I currently have a 60 in my geometry class because I can't do them. Please help me solve this proof. Thank you!
Prove: Segment BD and segment AE are diameters of circle C
Segment BD is perpendicular to segment AE
Prove: the measure of arc AB is congruent to the measure of arc ED

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
An arc is directly related to the measure of the central angle; and your intersecting diameters are perpendicular at their intersection point, center of the circle.

Can you see a plan of steps using reasons:
Vertical angles are congruent;
Perpendicular segments mean Right Angles;
Congruent central angle of circle subtend congruent arc measures.

Not a full proof, but just a raw outline of how to justify what statements you could say.
