Answer 1

what do you need

Answer 2

Answer 3

I just need to be stepped through them

Answer 4

Trying to think back to my honor geometry course... For the first one, don't the other two angle have to be equal to each other because the sides are congruent. There's some theorem out there describing that I believe. If you know that then you can set up an equation 2x + 93.5 = 180(because all angles in a triangle must sum 180) and you can solve from there

Answer 5

For the second one, there is a side that both triangles share. Using the reflexive property we can prove that they are congruent, and since the picture already tells us that the hypotenuses are congruent, the triangles are valid for HL congruence. So the inner legs of triangles would make them valid to HL.

Answer 6

If you have any more questions on what I explained just ask

Answer 7

so I got 43.25 does that seem right?

Answer 8

@Jayhawk11

Answer 9

Yes, according to my calculations

Answer 10

Nice job!

Answer 11

and R&S for this one

Answer 12

I answered that one, look back up at my previous comment

Answer 13

OH thanks:) Can you help with the other 2?

Answer 14

Give me 10 minutes, something came up, sorry

Answer 15

its ok!

Answer 16

Ok, so for your first problem we have a variety of different theorems that might be able to prove these triangles congruent. The problem has given us two sides, so all we need is a third side SSS, an angle SAS, or two angles ASA(doesn't seem logical). So which do you think would be the best one to try to use?

Answer 17

I think it's SAS.

Answer 18

Why do you think that?

Answer 19

Because it has one angle

Answer 20

Well, it does, but we aren't given any angle measures or congruencies in the problem. Also the two triangles don't have any shared angles so we can eliminate AAS and SAS. Also we can't use HL because they're not right triangles. So that leaves us with SSS. For this to work we only have to prove one more pair of sides congruent. Look at the picture and tell me if there are any sides that these two triangles share.

Answer 21

Answer 22

Great! but just remember that proper notation(the way you should write it) is
that's the only way i could show it to you on the computer

so now by reflexive property of congruence we can prove they are equal to each other making our SSS statement valid and the triangles are proved congruent!
