Question

given QRS congruent to TUV, QS=3v+2 and TV=7v-6 find the length of QS and TV

Answer 1

Hello and Welcome to OpenStudy! :)
3v+2=7v-6 solve for v

Answer 2

3v+2=7v-6 solve for v

try subtracting 3v from both sides
then adding 6 to both sides
then dividing both sides by 4

do you know how to do this?

Answer 3

no can you explain it more

Answer 4

by saying that QRS is congruent to TUV
that means QS = TV
so 3v+2 = 7v-6

follow?

Answer 5

yes

Answer 6

so then solve for v from there

Answer 7

3v+2 = 7v-6
-3v -3v
so 2 = 4v - 6 then
+6 +6

Answer 8

i understand now

Answer 9

good :)

once you get v you can then plug it back into
QS = 3v + 2 =
and
TV = 7v - 6 =

Answer 10

they both equal 8

Answer 11

yes :)

Answer 12

i need help with another problem though

Answer 13

sure, ask away :)

Answer 14

what other information do you need in order to prove the triangles congruent using SAS Congruence Postulate

Answer 15

AC = AC because they are the same side
BC = CD is given
then you would need the angle between them to be congruent if you want a SAS

Answer 16

how do i get that

Answer 17

hmmm?

Answer 18

name those two angles

Answer 19

BD ?

Answer 20

angle ACB = angle ACD

Answer 21

oh ok

Answer 22

thank you

Answer 23

Glad I could help :)
