Question

question 5 of 10
assume △rst≅△mno. if mn = 6, no = 7, and mo = 11, what is the length of (overline{rs})?
a. 11
b. 6
c. 7
d. cannot be determined

Explanation:

Step1: Use the property of congruent triangles

Congruent triangles have corresponding sides equal. Since \(\triangle RST\cong\triangle MNO\), the corresponding sides are \(RS\) and \(MN\), \(ST\) and \(NO\), \(RT\) and \(MO\).

Step2: Find the length of \(RS\)

As \(RS\) corresponds to \(MN\) in congruent triangles \(\triangle RST\) and \(\triangle MNO\), and \(MN = 6\). So \(RS=MN\).

Answer:

B. 6
