hmmm how do you know the \(\bf \overline{RT}\cong \overline{ED}\)?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
im not sure :(
OpenStudy (jdoe0001):
welll
let's take a peek at those triangles

okay thank you so much
OpenStudy (jdoe0001):
so, on the 1st triangle we have
|dw:1453511551593:dw|
OpenStudy (anonymous):
40?
OpenStudy (jdoe0001):
all internal angles in a triangle = 180
thus
80 + 60 + x = 180
x = 180 -80-60
x = 180 - 140
x - 40
yes
so, lets take a look at the other triangle now
|dw:1453511834397:dw|
OpenStudy (jdoe0001):
actually.. hold the mayo, lemme redo that graph

80
OpenStudy (jdoe0001):
well... or better put |dw:1453511972146:dw|
OpenStudy (jdoe0001):
well... yes
is 80
because 180 - 60 - 40 = 180 - 100 = 80
so
let's see both graphs again

okay thank you

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):
both have the same angles
and have 1 common side
so, one could use ASA or SAS for congruence
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes !
OpenStudy (jdoe0001):
and notice the pictures
RT is congruent with?
well, with FD :)
