Given: ΔABC ≅ ΔFDE What is the length of segment DE rounded to the nearest tenth? 3.2 4.2 2.2 3.6 I'm just confused on how I'd do this :)

You need to do two things. 1. Figure out which side of triangle ABC corresponds to and is congruent to side DE. 2. Find the length of that side of triangle ABC.

Can you answer part 1?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I hope so. Segment AC = DE

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

No. The way you know which sides correspond to each other between both congruent triangles is to look at thh statement of congruence. The letters are in a very specific order when naming both triangles.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OH!! So segment BC = DE?
