Question

The figure below shows two congruent triangular parks. What equation would help you to solve for the side length of BC and EF? Explain your reasoning using complete sentences.

Answer 1

PLEASE HELP!!

Answer 2

Welcome to Openstudy :)

Answer 3

Thanks:)

Answer 4

I seiriously need help....are you good at geometry? Not trying to offend you or anything, just asking

Answer 5

Geometry was never my favorite subject.. but I can always try.
I would start off by setting the two equations equal to each other

Answer 6

ok......gimme a sec...

Answer 7

would it be x = 7??

Answer 8

Yup, that's what x would be, now what you do is plug that back in to get the side lengths

Answer 9

Ok....one sec..

Answer 10

the side lengths would be 6 right? Thats what I got.

Answer 11

by the way i have one more question after this...

Answer 12

Yup, and alright shoot.

Answer 13

Determine if the two figures are congruent and explain your answer. If they are congruent, tell which rigid motions were used.

Answer 14

Thats my last one.

Answer 15

you have to identify each of the segment's coordinates first

Answer 16

Ok....so d = -2, 6 q = -4, 4 b = -3, 2 and a = -1, 1 Then for the second one h = 3, 5 g = 5, 3 f = 4, 1 e = 2, 0
now what?

Answer 17

Don't leave me!

Answer 18

I am here. can you calculate the distance of each segments and see if anything matches from figure one (right side) and figure two (left side

Answer 19

What do you mean cauculate the distance?

Answer 20

do you know the distance formula?

Answer 21

if not, you can derive it from pythagorean theorem.

Answer 22

Ummm.... what? sorry but this is why I needed help I dont remember.

Answer 23

Wouldn't counting the spaces work?

Answer 24

like counting from point d to point a. you go one to the right and 5 down. If you do the same from point H to point E it works too.
