Question

Is there enough information given to find the value of X.

Answer 1

No?

Answer 2

Yes.

Answer 3

I will edit in the stuff and repost it.

Answer 4

Than walk you through what I got.

Answer 5

This is why triangles are important in construction. Because as long as you know two things about the triangle then you can pretty much find out everything about that triangle

Answer 6

So yes you have enough information

Answer 7

Almost done :D

Answer 8

they are the same. I remember the rule that if you want to change the lengths of the triangle you have to either change the angle or a side. Since we have two sides that are the same it means that both are the same.

Answer 9

@Romero which two sides are congruent ? i see only one

Answer 10

The right angle in the side pretty much closes the deal because my top statement alone can't stand without that right angle

Answer 11

If you want to see an example of one that isn't congruent I will post one. Gimme a second please.

Answer 12

we have an angle and a side that are the same....we only need to prove two things are congruent about triangles whether it be angles or sides to prove that the triangles are congruent in every form

Answer 13

ASA, SSS, SAS
by which they both are congruent ?

Answer 14

no

Answer 15

Here are some not-so-congruent triangles. :D

Answer 16

Does it make more sense?

Answer 17

i would say not enough information o_o.., same problem with ganeshie8

Answer 18

all you have is two right triangles with a common hypotenuse.... that's it... can't use any of the congruency theorems...

Answer 19

TheMusician's attached pic is a bit wrong too. The "red" angles should be 67 and 113.

Answer 20

but because we know that they have a common angle and a common side we can say that both triangles are congruent

Answer 21

it will be congrent by angle side angle :)

Answer 22

it will be congrent by angle side angle :)

Answer 23

it will be congrent by angle side angle :)

Answer 24

it will be congrent by angle side angle :)

Answer 25

@TheMusician but the total angle in the triangle doesn't add up to 180. 90 + 23 + 76 = 189

Answer 26

67 no 76

Answer 27

But it doesn't change that it's still congruent.

Answer 28

you can't use side angle side because we only know that one side and one angle are the same but we want to know if x is the same...that' why we use trigonometry instead of geometry

Answer 29

let's give these names so we can name the angle and sides easier *-*
@Harpellet which angle side angle?
