dan815 · Answer

is there a picture

dan815 · Answer

what is HL?

anonymous · Answer

its out of my math book and Hypotenuse-leg

anonymous · Answer

can you draw the picture?

anonymous · Answer

um ill try

@iforgot

anonymous · Answer

u can use the 
pythagorean theorem 

to find the lengths

anonymous · Answer

kk ill try hold on

anonymous · Answer

a2 + b2 = c2 

is this it???

anonymous · Answer

wait before u do that

are they right triangles?

anonymous · Answer

yes

anonymous · Answer

it is much easier
you do not have to use 

Pythagorean ( or yet)

anonymous · Answer

so how would i right it out is my question

anonymous · Answer

since they are supposed to be congruent

(you just have to find out how)

hypotenues = hypotenues 
so on

anonymous · Answer

so like 3y+x2+y-x2=c2

anonymous · Answer

EXAMPLE

2 TRIANGLES ARE CONGRUENT TO ONE ANOTHER

NOT TO SCALE

anonymous · Answer

A  CONGRUENT   G
C                        F
B                         D

anonymous · Answer

same thing in your problem what you have there

anonymous · Answer

ugh this is just so conusing im sorry

anonymous · Answer

np

anonymous · Answer

EXAMPLE
|dw:1367443412972:dw|
NOT TO SCALE

A =  2
B =   8
C =   2

D  =  8
G  =  2
F  =  2

anonymous · Answer

can you do so with the values that you were given

its just the same 
but you have x in it

anonymous · Answer

huh lol sorry i am really really bad at math

anonymous · Answer

what is your hypotenues for 1 triangle

anonymous · Answer

3y+x

anonymous · Answer

it is equal to the value of the other hypotenues

anonymous · Answer

how would u write that

anonymous · Answer

there isnt another ypotenus its blank

anonymous · Answer

did you give me an incorect picture?

anonymous · Answer

in this one there is a value for the hypotenuese

anonymous · Answer

the x+5 is supossed to go on the other side my bad

anonymous · Answer

ok 
triangles are congruent

side congruent side

so how would u write this?

anonymous · Answer

congruent 
just use equal to

anonymous · Answer

see thats what im confussed about is how to right it out

anonymous · Answer

whats the value of one side?

anonymous · Answer

there should be no confusion really
just write it out
pretend it is
 
all that (x  + blah ) is  
               
                      A
the other side    (  x + blah blah ) is 
                       B

          A  =  B

anonymous · Answer

try it out and see what equation you get

anonymous · Answer

hold on im on the fone with my teacher

anonymous · Answer

thanks for ur hellp i figured it out

anonymous · Answer

?
u sure you get how to do these problems though?

anonymous · Answer

yeah i just got done with a fone call with my teacher he walked me thru it all

anonymous · Answer

ok 
cools
