Question

Find the value of x that makes the triangles congruent by SSS.


A. 1
B. 2.3
C. 6
D. 7

Answer 1

I'm so confused?

Answer 2

Okay, well the top and bottom should be equal.

Answer 3

So we can write:

\(\sf 13x + 1 = 5x + 49\)

Solve for 'x'

Answer 4

8x+1=49

Answer 5

8x=50

Answer 6

6.25=x

Answer 7

I'm still confused though?

Answer 8

That's our answer.

Answer 9

So we would round it to 6? Making it (C).

Answer 10

If the triangles are congruent by SSS, then MN and LO should be the same length.

Answer 11

Yeah, I think so.

Answer 12

Okay, thanks! (:
