Given: ΔABC ≅ ΔEDF What is the length of rounded to the nearest tenth? a 1.1 b 3 c 3.2 d 4
length of ...?
sorry line FE
yeah and i think there is still some information mission from the question, such as a side-length of EDF
no thats all there is just the picture that is attched and the question that is above
so does ≅ indicates similarity or congruence,
yessss
which one if you mean similarity ; the problem cannot be solved if you mean congruence ; the problem can be solved
ok so ≅ means congruence
(the triangles are the same shape (angles) and dimension (lengths)
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
and that i dont know how to do
so we just need to find the length of FE which by congruence is exactly the same as length AC
oh i thought it was CB?
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)
length AB is 1, length BC is 3, length AC = sqrt( 1^1 + 3^2) =sqrt (10) =3.162
rounding to the nearest tenth ~ 3.2
OMG thank you sooooo freakin muchn(:
do you understand how this works?
yes thank you soo verry much
