For Postulate 3-2, Imagine you have one line. Then imagine you have a point that does not lie on the line. Through this point, there is only one line that is parallel to the first. I hope this helped!
I'm not getting #4 on pg 167. None of the postulates/theorems in this chapter talk about parallel lines at all! So how could they support Theorem 3-8 or the Perpendicular Transversal Theorem?
I don't see how the triangle Exterior Angle Theorem connects with the Triangle Angle Sum Theorem.. Question #7 on pg 175 confuses me, and I can't figure out the answer..
Can you explain a little about the "WHY" of the Triangle Exterior Angle Theorem? There is a proof concerning it in #33 pg 177 and I have no idea WHY this theorem is true... Help!!!
I don't get postulate 3-2. I don't get how a point not on line works. The whole thing is worded complicatedly.

ReplyDeleteWould "A is parallel to D because of the Law of Syllogism" be a valid answer for #19 on pg 168, or can that only be used in conditionals, etc?

ReplyDeleteIt's too late for me to do the Mid-Chapter Quiz.. :( I'll do it tomorrow/Friday. BE READY FOR MY QUESTIONS :-)
