Question

The two triangles shown below are congruent.



What is the value of x?

1

2

3

4

Answer 1

see sides CA is equal to side OM and side AB is equal to MN
so CA/OM=AB/MN
then you cross multiply
you get that @LaurenAshley1201 ?

Answer 2

since the triangles are congruent all the sides and angles of the first triangle are equal to all the sides and angles of the second triangle.
therefore,
2x+2=x+3
getting x on the L.H.S
2x-x=3-2
x=1

Answer 3

when two figures are congruent, that means they are the exact same shape and their measures are equal.

so we just equate the corresponding sides
