Question

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 1

since the triangular parks are congruent, the corresponding lengths will be congruent too :

BC = EF

3x - 4 = x+6

Answer 2

solve x, what do u get ?

Answer 3

x=5

Answer 4

Yes! plug that x value in BC expression and find the length

Answer 5

ummm im not sure how to plug the x value

Answer 6

You have BC = 3x - 4

plug x = 5 above
BC = 3*5 - 4
= ?

Answer 7

BC= 3(5)-4= 11

Answer 8

Correct !

Answer 9

Since EF is congruent to BC, its length will be 11 too
