anonymous · Answer

hmm I think they're saying that the two triangles are congruent and that's a given?

anonymous · Answer

but idk what it's asking when it says if we can conclude QRS = TUV

anonymous · Answer

so I guess I'm kinda stuck, but idk

anonymous · Answer

:p gah I'm good at math just not geometry so I'm completely lost.

anonymous · Answer

it just seems weird how they give you the two triangles are congruent, but they ask for QRS = TUV ?

anonymous · Answer

is there another way to show the full problem? i think something is missing

anonymous · Answer

Nope that's the full problem...I gave everything that it said.

anonymous · Answer

hmm well...if you know the two triangles are congruent and it's a given, then you can use CPCTC to conclude that the angles QRS and TUV are congruent

but that seems too easy and you don't even need to use the other info

anonymous · Answer

what's CPCTC? sorry I suck at geometry

anonymous · Answer

CPCTC means corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent

anonymous · Answer

the corresponding parts are the angles QRS and TUV in this case

@mathgeek898  are you sure you have given the problem correctly?  You say that you are GIVEN that QRS = TUV. But then you are asked whether you can conclude that QRS = TUV. That doesn't make sense....

anonymous · Answer

yeah i agree lol

anonymous · Answer

Maybe it's as simple as it sounds? This is confusing...
