Question
part b
given: \\( \triangle efg \cong \triangle rst \\) find each value below.
- \\( m\angle f= \\)
- \\( y= \\)
- \\( x= \\)
- \\( st= \\)
Step1: Find \(m\angle F\)
Since \(\triangle EFG\cong\triangle RST\), corresponding angles are equal. In \(\triangle EFG\), using the angle - sum property of a triangle (\(m\angle E + m\angle F+m\angle G=180^{\circ}\)). Given \(m\angle E=(4x + 6)^{\circ}\), \(m\angle G = 28^{\circ}\), and in right - angled triangle \(\triangle RST\), \(m\angle R = 90^{\circ}\). Corresponding to \(\angle R\) is \(\angle F\) (because of congruence). So \(m\angle F=90^{\circ}-28^{\circ}=62^{\circ}\)
Step2: Find \(z\)
Since \(\triangle EFG\cong\triangle RST\), corresponding sides are equal. So \(3z−8=z + 4\)
Step3: Find \(y\)
Since \(\triangle EFG\cong\triangle RST\), corresponding angles are equal. \(\angle E\) corresponds to \(\angle T\). \(m\angle E=(4x + 6)^{\circ}\), \(m\angle T=(5y−2)^{\circ}\). First, in \(\triangle EFG\), \(m\angle E=90^{\circ}-28^{\circ}=62^{\circ}\). Then \(5y−2 = 62\)
Step4: Find \(x\)
Since \(m\angle E=(4x + 6)^{\circ}\) and \(m\angle E = 62^{\circ}\) (from congruence and angle - sum property). Then \(4x+6=62\)
Step5: Find \(ST\)
Since \(z = 6\) and \(ST=z + 4\), then \(ST=6 + 4=10\)
