Question
given: right \\( \triangle a b d \\) and right \\( \triangle c b d \\)
prove: \\( \triangle a b d \cong \triangle c b d \\)
proof:
find the length of \\( \overline{a d} \\)
\\( \
\\)
find the length of \\( \overline{d c} \\)
\\( \
\\)
- \\( \overline{a d} \cong \overline{d c} \\) by the
- \\( \overline{b d} \cong \overline{b d} \\) by the
- \\( \triangle a b d \cong \triangle c b d \\) by the f congruence theorem
a. 4
b. reflexive property of \\( \cong \\)
c. segment property
d. 8
e. 16
f. leg leg
g. definition of \\( \cong \\)
Step1: Calculate length of \( \overline{AD} \)
Step2: Calculate length of \( \overline{DC} \)
Since \( AD = DC=4 \), \( \overline{AD}\cong\overline{DC} \) by the definition of congruent segments (\( \text{Definition of }\cong \)).
Step3: Analyze \( \overline{BD}\cong\overline{BD} \)
\( \overline{BD}\cong\overline{BD} \) by the Reflexive Property of \( \cong \) (a segment is congruent to itself).
Step4: Determine congruence of triangles
For right - triangles \( \triangle ABD \) and \( \triangle CBD \), we have two pairs of congruent legs (\( \overline{AD}\cong\overline{DC} \) and \( \overline{BD}\cong\overline{BD} \)). So, \( \triangle ABD\cong\triangle CBD \) by the Leg - Leg (\( LL \)) Congruence Theorem for right - triangles.
