Question

in the diagram, (\triangle pmncong\triangle qsr). if (qr = 20) in., (rs = 7) in., and (sq = 24) in., what is (pn)?
3 in.
7 in.
20 in.
24 in.
figure may not be drawn to scale

Explanation:

Step1: Use the property of congruent triangles

Since \(\triangle PMN\cong\triangle QSR\), corresponding sides are equal.

Step2: Identify the corresponding side

In congruent triangles \(\triangle PMN\) and \(\triangle QSR\), \(PN\) corresponds to \(RS\).

Answer:

\(7\) in.
