Question

I need help with this ​

Answer 1

Explanation:

to add to the other correct answer :

the symbol means that both triangles are congruent.

and that means that when you turn then so that both can be laid on top of each other in the same direction, they would perfectly cover each other without any overlap whatsoever.

and that means that they must have the same angles and the same side lengths (and also other lengths like heights, bisectors, ...).

therefore,

v + 9 = 15

v = 6

and then

2w + v + 11 = w - 3v + 48

giving us w = 13

as the other answer already shows how.

and ED = QR, of course.

Answer 2

v = 6

w=13

Explanation:

v = 6 because we know that both of the triangles are the same, they just rotate, but the measure is still the same.

To calculate w, we have the formula

2w + v + 11 = w - 3v +48

We already know v = 6, so put 6 in the v spot

2w + 6 + 11 = w -3(6) + 48

2w + 17 = w - 18 + 48

2w + 17 = w +30

Subtracted 17 from both sides

2w = w + 13

Subtract w from both sides

w= 13
