Now let's label the lengths of the sides.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Exactly. Now look at which sides have the same length in the two triangles. Each pair of congruent sides is a pair of corresponding sides.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Right. That means we can start like this: |dw:1429493841865:dw| We need to see which of the two is correct, and how to finish.
