1. Gabylovesyou

What is the flaw in the student's proof? Justification 4 should be "AB ÷ AD = AB ÷ AC because triangle ABC is similar to triangle ABD." Justification 1 should be "Angle ABC = Angle BCD and Angle BCA = Angle DBC." Justification 2 should be "BC ÷ DC = AC ÷ BC because triangle ABC is similar to triangle BDC." Justification 3 should be "Angle ABC = Angle ADB and Angle BAC = Angle BAD."

@ganeshie8 I don't get this one ;/

4. ganeshie8

first two statements are about using : $$\triangle ABC \sim \triangle BDC$$

5. ganeshie8

there is no flaw in those statemetns

6. ganeshie8

lets look a bit closely at statement 3

8. ganeshie8

say, that angle = $$\alpha$$

9. ganeshie8

you wid me ? :)

10. ganeshie8

if u set up the angles correctly u will get : Justification 3 should be "Angle ABC = Angle ADB and Angle BAC = Angle BAD."
