Question

MEDAL TO CORRECT ANSWER WITH EXPLANATION
find the values of x and y that make these triangles congruent by the hl theorem
a)x=6,y=3
b)x=2,y=1
c)x=3,y=2
d)x=3,y=6

Answer 1

a.

Set the bases equal to one another: "x = 2y". Then substitute "2y" into x in the expression "x+4". You'll get "2y + 4".

Then set the two hypotenuses equal to one another and solve for y: "3y + 1= 2y +4".
You get "y = 3".

Then take that value for y and plug it into the y in the equation: "x = 2y" in order to find x's value (6).
