HW 12

Does anyone know how to do 2, 3, 5, 7, or 8?

• Here's what I did for problem two. Construct along EF a length equal to BC (prop 2), then construct an angle, at E, called MEF, such that angle MEF = angle ABC (prop 23). Then construct along segment EM a length EN equal to AB. Proposition four suggests triangles NEF and ABC are congruent, and from there the argument is more or less the same.

any hints for # 1?
