The triangles are congruent.Find the length of each hypotenuse.(HELP I FORGOT HOW TO DO THIS) A.3 B.5 C.17 D.22

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (cggurumanjunath):

equate bc =de; ef=ac.

OpenStudy (cggurumanjunath):

find the values of x and y.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5x+7=6x+2y like this?

OpenStudy (cggurumanjunath):

s

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x=7-2y

OpenStudy (cggurumanjunath):

is it clear @HendersonNeedsYurHelp because it is given triangles are congruent so.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how do i find the values of x and y?

OpenStudy (cggurumanjunath):

ac=ef?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y+3=2y+1

OpenStudy (cggurumanjunath):

s

OpenStudy (cggurumanjunath):

find y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how?

OpenStudy (cggurumanjunath):

y+3=2y+1 find y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y=2

OpenStudy (cggurumanjunath):

correct,then what is x

OpenStudy (cggurumanjunath):

x=7-2y put y=2 and find x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x=7-2(2)

OpenStudy (cggurumanjunath):

s

OpenStudy (anonymous):

7-4=3

OpenStudy (cggurumanjunath):

you are right.now find ed.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ed?

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

y + 3 = 2y + 1 y = 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

6x+2y

OpenStudy (cggurumanjunath):

ed=6x+2y put x=3 and y=2

OpenStudy (cggurumanjunath):

ed is the hypotenuse.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so my answer is 5?

OpenStudy (cggurumanjunath):

ed=6(3)+2(2)=18+4=22.

OpenStudy (cggurumanjunath):

bc=ed.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the length of the hypotenuse is 5.

OpenStudy (cggurumanjunath):

no it is 22.

OpenStudy (cggurumanjunath):

so the length of the hypotenuse is 5. how ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the length of the hypotenuse is 22.

OpenStudy (cggurumanjunath):

s

OpenStudy (cggurumanjunath):

you got it.

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

5x + 7 = 6 x + 2y 5x + 7 = 6x + 2•2 x = 3 Put x and y into either hypotenuse value
