Question

Use congruent triangles to find side lengths.If you were asked to draw the two congruent triangles described below, what would be each side length? ABC≈ EFGAB = 6, GF = 8, AC = 10.

Answer 1

• AB and EF

,

• BC and FG

,

• AC and EG

Step-by-step explanation

The order in which the vertices of the triangles are named gives us which sides are congruent. If ΔABC ≅ ΔEFG, then the pairs of corresponding congruent sides are,

`\begin{gathered} AB\cong EF \\ BC\cong FG \\ AC\cong EG \end{gathered}`
