ok, what do the single ticks mean?

kimberlyevens · Answer

im not sure

anonymous · Answer

it means the are congruent same length

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

yes bere1 is correct

notice how VS and UV have the same single tick mark

that means VS is congruent to UV

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

what other two segments are congruent?

kimberlyevens · Answer

thats right thanks the single ticks are congruent to each other as well as the the doubled ticks

kimberlyevens · Answer

UT and TW

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

good, you got it

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

because VS is congruent to UV

and

because US = UV + VS, we can say this


US = UV + VS

US = VS + VS

US = 2*VS

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

making sense so far?

kimberlyevens · Answer

yes

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

similarly, SR = RQ because of the double ticks


QS = QR + RS

QS = RS + RS

QS = 2*RS

kimberlyevens · Answer

right

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

so if you focus on just triangle VSR and triangle USQ, you will see that they are similar and the larger triangle has side lengths double that of the smaller triangle
