Step1: Use the property of congruent triangles
When two triangles are congruent, their corresponding sides and angles are equal.
For \(\triangle STU\cong\triangle KLM\):
- Corresponding sides: \(ST = KL\), \(TU=LM\), \(US = MK\)
- Corresponding angles: \(\angle S=\angle K\), \(\angle T=\angle L\), \(\angle U=\angle M\)
Step2: Answer part (a) - (h)
a) Since \(TU\) corresponds to \(LM\) in \(\triangle KLM\), \(\overline{TU}\cong\overline{LM}\)
b) Since \(KM\) corresponds to \(US\) in \(\triangle STU\), \(\overline{KM}\cong\overline{US}\)
c) Since \(LK\) corresponds to \(ST\) in \(\triangle STU\), \(\overline{LK}\cong\overline{ST}\)
d) Since \(\angle M\) corresponds to \(\angle U\) in \(\triangle STU\), \(\angle M\cong\angle U\)
e) Since \(\angle T\) corresponds to \(\angle L\) in \(\triangle KLM\), \(\angle T\cong\angle L\)
f) \(\angle UST\) corresponds to \(\angle MKL\) in \(\triangle KLM\), \(\angle UST\cong\angle MKL\)
g) \(\triangle UST\cong\triangle MKL\) (by SSS or SAS congruence as corresponding sides and angles are equal)
h) \(\triangle TUS\cong\triangle LMK\) (by SSS or SAS congruence as corresponding sides and angles are equal)
Step3: For \(\triangle BCM\cong\triangle ZYR\)
- Corresponding sides: \(BC = ZY\), \(CM = YR\), \(BM = ZR\)
- Corresponding angles: \(\angle B=\angle Z\), \(\angle C=\angle Y\), \(\angle M=\angle R\)
a) \(CM = YR\). From the figure \(YR = 11m\), so \(CM = 11m\)
b) \(BM = ZR\). From the figure \(ZR = 15m\), so \(BM = 15m\)
c) \(YZ = BC\). From the figure \(BC = 8m\), so \(YZ = 8m\)
d) \(m\angle B=m\angle Z\). From the figure \(m\angle Z = 45^{\circ}\), so \(m\angle B = 45^{\circ}\)
e) \(m\angle M=m\angle R\). Since the sum of angles in a triangle is \(180^{\circ}\), \(m\angle R=180-(103 + 45)=32^{\circ}\), so \(m\angle M = 32^{\circ}\)
f) \(m\angle Y=m\angle C\). From the figure \(m\angle C = 103^{\circ}\), so \(m\angle Y = 103^{\circ}\)
Step4: For \(\triangle ACP\cong\triangle LNX\)
- Corresponding sides: \(AC = LN\), \(CP = NX\), \(AP = LX\)
- Corresponding angles: \(\angle A=\angle L\), \(\angle C=\angle N\), \(\angle P=\angle X\)
a) \(XL = AP\). From the figure \(AP = 13cm\), so \(XL = 13cm\)
b) \(AC = LN\). Since \(LN = 21cm\) (from the figure as \(LN\) is equal to the side marked \(21cm\)), \(AC = 21cm\)
c) \(PC = NX\) (by congruence)
d) \(m\angle L=m\angle A\). From the figure \(m\angle A = 29^{\circ}\), so \(m\angle L = 29^{\circ}\)
e) \(m\angle C=m\angle N\). Since the sum of angles in a triangle is \(180^{\circ}\), \(m\angle N=180-(29 + 90)=61^{\circ}\) (assuming \(\triangle ACP\) has \(\angle P = 90^{\circ}\) as \(\triangle LNX\) is isoceles (from the marks on sides) and using angle - sum property), \(m\angle C = 61^{\circ}\)
f) \(m\angle X=m\angle P\). Since \(\angle P = 90^{\circ}\) (by assuming the right - angle from the side - length marks and triangle congruence), \(m\angle X = 90^{\circ}\)
