Question

please help will give out medals

Answer 1

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 2

help !!!

Answer 3

What does it mean to say that two triangles are congruent?

Answer 4

lyk if they have the same width and length

Answer 5

It means that the corresponding sides are equal and the corresponding angles are equal.

Answer 6

ya

Answer 7

So write and solve the equation that says those sides are equal

Answer 8

kk

Answer 9

2x + -3 + x + 5 ????

Answer 10

They are EQUAL. Put an equal sign between them

Answer 11

oh ...... smh

Answer 12

2x + -3 = x + 5 ?

Answer 13

Solve that.

Answer 14

gimme a sec

Answer 15

x = 2 .... i forgot how to do these problems

Answer 16

1. Subtract x from both sides
2. Add 3 to both sides.

Answer 17

so x=4 ???

Answer 18

2x-3=x+5
-x -x
x-3=5

Answer 19

That's what you get when you subtract x from both sides

Answer 20

Now add 3 to both sides

Answer 21

x-3=5
+3 +3
x=8

Answer 22

wow ..... srry bout that

Answer 23

Actually I guess you didn't even have to solve the equation because the problem asked what equation would help you find the length of those two sides.

Answer 24

9 ???

Answer 25

What do you mean?

Answer 26

nvm ...... so what di i do now ????

Answer 27

do ya have the answer

Answer 28

I think you are done. Are you trying to find the length of the sides?

Answer 29

its says to explain.... explain what

Answer 30

Let's take it one step at a time.
1. What equation would help you find the length of sides BC and EF?

Answer 31

2x-3=x+5

Answer 32

Very good.
Now the second question. Why does that equation help you find BC and EF?

Answer 33

idonno

Answer 34

The two triangles are congruent. That means that BC=EF. The equation I wrote sets BC equal to EF.

Answer 35

ok now what

Answer 36

That is the reasoning that the problem asked you to give.

Answer 37

thank you so much ... you are a life saver

Answer 38
