The roads connecting a school (S), a library (L), and a playground (P) make a triangle as shown. Anita has to make the same map using points T, Q, and R which correspond to points P, S, and L so that triangle TQR is congruent to triangle PSL. Explain, using complete sentences, the steps Anita can use to create the map.

@ganeshie8 hey my last question :) can you help me?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

copy triangle construction !

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

u have straight edge and compass with you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is that it?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

wat do u mean ? you need to do a construction here, constructing the triangle TQR exactly same as the triangle PSL

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you bring me through it step by step please

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

do u have straight edge and compass with you, right now ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes!

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

grab a piece of paper and draw a triangle PSL (u can do a rough sketch)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

|dw:1373874472824:dw|

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

draw it on one side, so that u can copy the same as TQR on right side

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

once you have the triangle to copy, ping me we can start the construction

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wait so i draw the exact same triangle just labeled differently?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

first draw the given triangle PSL then, we need to construcl TQR

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

*construct

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

construction is not same as drawing or sketching, you need to use compass and make the construction precisely
