the two figures shown below are congruent. identify the corresponding sides and angles
So will you help?
well, i think they just want to know what sides are congruent , or it sounds like that anyway
okay, can you help me??
ill give 5 medals for the answer
basically the figure just did a 90 degree rotation clockwise , so sides A and D are sides R and Q .. S and P are sides B and C .. A and B is S and Q .. and C and D is P and Q... understand how i got that?
kinda, but not really
ok think about it this way... you have your figure
|dw:1457034322407:dw|
okay
i know im bad at drawing on here XD
i feel like i understand.
now what the figure did was it turned 90 degrees clockwise so the way i clock goes.. you know 1 ,2 ,3 ,4 counter clockwise is 12, 11, 10 ... so we want to put the figure 90 degrees which would be 3 o clock , so we just need to rotate the figure until it goes from 12 to 3 if were using a clock to make it easier
wait a minute sorry, we need to go counter clockwise so were going to 12 to 9 not 3 whoops
okay so how should i word it to complete my test?
give me an answer, so i can turn it in
it needs an written response and an answer
well it wants which angles and sides are congruent so you would say Line BA is equal to Line SR , Line AD is equal to Line RQ, Line CD is equal to Line PQ, and Line BC is equal to Line SP
now for the angles
okay
Angle D is equal is Angle Q , Angle A is equal to angle R, Angle B is equal to angle S and Angle C is equal to angle P . but i would replace the word equal to corresponds
i would imagine thats what they want
okay thank you so much
your welcome
