I need help with congruent triangles. Attachment of photo in comments below.

post it

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

where is it ?

rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):

what question are we looking at

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Question 12

OpenStudy (danjs):

can you tell it is one of those equilateral ones

OpenStudy (danjs):

the two sides with the hash marks are the same measure, 3 then those equal angles relate that third side to be the same, 3

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

so this is an isosceles triangle how is there signed - yes ?

OpenStudy (danjs):

same ideas as the other ones, just 2 in one prob

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

AC congruent BC

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

because angle A = angle B

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

there is signed false sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm confused.

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

hmm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I need to find the value of each variable.

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

http://www.mathsisfun.com/geometry/triangles-interactive.html <--- notice there pick the "isosceles" triangle, the one with two equal sides notice what happens to the two angles they touch

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

pick isosceles, since yours also has two equal sides, notice the tickmarks and move the triangle's leg, extend stretch, move it about notice, two sides are always equals, and also notice the angles anything particular about the angles?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm sorry I'm on a tablet. It doesn't let me move around the legs of triangle.

OpenStudy (danjs):

equal angles in a triangle have also equal opposite side lengths, and the other way around think of a line segment, and now attach a segment on each end with the same angle towards each other, they will meet half way and have the same lengths |dw:1454717771233:dw|
