Answer 1

hmm...

Answer 2

I know this... i just woke up so i might be VERY rusty...

Answer 3

is H

Answer 4

i explain

Answer 5

Please tell me how.

Answer 6

\(< RTX \) is equivalent to \(< TRY\) because the parent triangle is an isosceles. that means that both bottom angles are equivalent, which makes SYR and SXT Congruent.

Answer 7

:) hope that helped

Answer 8

twas a challenge :)

Answer 9

But why would the bottom part help if it isn't part of the triangle?

Answer 10

*The triangles being compared.

Answer 11

They are angles of the triangle. try and figure it out using angle measurements.

Answer 12

they are still a part of the triangle, no?

Answer 13

Plus, it is the only answer with logical angles. how would the measurement of "RX and TY" help congruency?
