Given: ΔABC ≅ ΔEDF What is the length of rounded to the nearest tenth? a 1.1 b 3 c 3.2 d 4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

length of ...?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry line FE

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

yeah and i think there is still some information mission from the question, such as a side-length of EDF

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no thats all there is just the picture that is attched and the question that is above

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

so does ≅ indicates similarity or congruence,

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yessss

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

which one if you mean similarity ; the problem cannot be solved if you mean congruence ; the problem can be solved

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

ok so ≅ means congruence

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

(the triangles are the same shape (angles) and dimension (lengths)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok i kno that u have to turn the triangle side ways and line FE match up to line CB so its (3,2) (0,2) and you have to round it to the nearest tenth

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and that i dont know how to do

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

so we just need to find the length of FE which by congruence is exactly the same as length AC

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh i thought it was CB?

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

the side length in question is the side opposite the right angle using the Pythagoras theorem the length AC^2 = length AB^2 + length BC^2 so AC = Sqrt(AB^2+BC^2)

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

length AB is 1, length BC is 3, length AC = sqrt( 1^1 + 3^2) =sqrt (10) =3.162

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

rounding to the nearest tenth ~ 3.2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OMG thank you sooooo freakin muchn(:

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

do you understand how this works?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes thank you soo verry much
