Question

if triangle def is congruent to triangle abc and \\( \overline { a b } = 4.4 \\) units, what is the length of \\( \overline { d e } \\)?

\\( \bigcirc \\) a. 6.6 units
\\( \bigcirc \\) b. 2.2 units
\\( \bigcirc \\) c. 8.8 units
\\( \bigcirc \\) d. 4.4 units

Explanation:

Step1: Recall congruent triangle property

Congruent triangles have equal corresponding sides.

Step2: Identify corresponding sides

$\triangle DEF \cong \triangle ABC$, so $\overline{DE}$ corresponds to $\overline{AB}$.

Step3: Equate lengths

$\overline{DE} = \overline{AB} = 4.4$ units.

Answer:

d. 4.4 units
