Question

To show that NMQ ≈ QPN by SAS, what must be the value or x?

I need help with this please help me

Answer 1

x = 3

Explanation:

You want to know the value of x, given that NM = 5x-1 and QP = 3x+5 in congruent triangles NMQ and QPN.

CPCTC

Corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent, so we have ...

NM = QP

5x -1 = 3x +5

2x = 6 . . . . . . . . . . add 1-3x

x = 3 . . . . . . . . . . divide by 2
