Geometry Ch5.1 #46

by | Oct 27, 2015

Question from Kerry:

The answer key gives 5 statement answers, but the proof only has 4 statements.  I don’t know which of the 5 in the answer key is extraneous.  Assuming the last one should be dropped, the answer in the key for statement 2 is subtraction, but I think it is addition.  There is no subtraction for statement 2.  Could you clarify/verify the 4 correct reasons for the 4 steps?

 

Answer from Dr. Callahan:

This should be
1) Given2) Addition3) Given4) Substitution
The answer key you have is a reprint from the original (oddly the original has the correct answers) and is new. We will document any errors at askdrcallahan.com/support.
