Geometric Proofs...1 (Given AB is C to DE, DE = 25', ...)

[Guest]

Given: AB is C to DE, DE = 25 feet, BC = 30 feet,
EF = BC, AF = 12 feet and DC = AF.

Prove: TABC is C to TDEF.

NOTE: C = congruent and T = triangle.

Use coordinate geometry only. Do not use the statement vs reason chart.

Another general rule - When you switch to algebra, you may not be doing geometry any more. Are you supposed to be studying geometry?

Given: AB is C to DE...

What does "(this) is C to (that)" mean? Is "C" some sort of transformation or something?

Thank you.
