Question
QUESTION: Hello, I really need your help.  I have struggled with this for months.  I have a prrof that i cant seem to get right, do you have an email where I can send you an attachment of the problem?



ANSWER: Hello Robert,

Well I suppose I do, but begin by asking me the question by describing the situation.  AllExperts also allows you to attach a picture with your question, so you might be able to do that.  I'm not comfortable giving my email address out over here.  Ask a follow-up and attach a picture, and we'll take it from there.

many thanks.


ANSWER: Hi Robert,

The proof looks good to me.  If there is something specific that you need clarification with, feel free to ask.  Other than that, I'd say you've nailed this.

Thanks for asking,
Azeem

QUESTION: i was told that I needed to be a step added after step 3 having to do with the congruency of rgith angles.  Do you know what the statement and reason would be for that step?

Thanks again, I appreciate your help.

Answer
Hi Robert,

It seems as though your reason for statement 3 is mismatched.  I think you should first state that the angle measures are 90 degrees (definition of perpendicular).  Afterwards you can mention that the angles are congruent (90 degrees congruent to 90 degrees).

Hope this helps,
Azeem
