Question
- this question has two parts. first, answer part a. then, answer part b. in the figure below, $\triangle fgh \cong \triangle jkl$. part a: what is the value of $x$? part b: what is the value of $y$? 66. this question has two parts. first, answer part a. then, answer part b. in the figure below, $\angle a \cong \angle d$, $\angle b \cong \angle e$, and $\overline{ab} \cong \overline{de}$. part a: are the triangles congruent? if so, what congruence theorem proves they are congruent? a. yes, the triangles are congruent by the side - angle - side congruence theorem. b. yes, the triangles are congruent by the angle - angle - side congruence theorem. c. yes, the triangles are congruent by the angle - side - angle congruence theorem. d. no, the triangles are not congruent. part b: if the triangles are congruent, find the length of $\overline{df}$. e. 43 f. 6 g. 40 h. cannot be determined because the triangles are not congruent. 67. which congruence statement is correct? a. $\triangle abc \cong \triangle mnp$ b. $\triangle acb \cong \triangle mpn$ c. $\triangle cab \cong \triangle nmp$ d. $\triangle bca \cong \triangle pmn$ 68. the triangles in the diagram below are congruent. if $\triangle jkl \cong \triangle onm$ then what is $m\angle n$?
Question 65 Part A
Step1: Find angle at J
In $\triangle FGH$, sum of angles is $180^\circ$. So $\angle F = 180 - 138 - 20 = 22^\circ$. Since $\triangle FGH \cong \triangle JKL$, $\angle J = \angle F = 22^\circ$.
Step2: Solve for x
Set $3x - 8 = 22$. Then $3x = 30$, so $x = 10$.
Step1: Find side length
Since $\triangle FGH \cong \triangle JKL$, $LH = FJ$. $LH = 14.7$ in, so $\frac{1}{4}x + y = 14.7$.
Step2: Substitute x and solve for y
We know $x = 10$, so $\frac{1}{4}(10) + y = 14.7$. $2.5 + y = 14.7$, so $y = 12.2$.
We have $\angle A \cong \angle D$, $\angle B \cong \angle E$, and $\overline{AB} \cong \overline{DE}$. By Angle - Side - Angle (ASA) congruence theorem (two angles and the included side), the triangles are congruent. So option C is correct.
