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

I will medal

Answer 2

It is given that the two triangles are congruent, this means that they are not only similar but they are the same. So the sides are equal 7=7, 15=15, and 3x - 4 = x + 6. Solve that equation and that will result in the length of BC and EF.

Answer 3

thanks so much

Answer 4

Just solve for x and then substitute your results into the 3x - 4 and the x + 6, you will get the same side measure for both triangles.

Answer 5

What did you get for x
What did you get for side BC?, EF?

Answer 6

x=5
