Question

2. Given the following information, is it possible to determine the length of YZ? If so, find the length and explain below. If not, explain why not.

AABC XAXYZ, AB = 3.7, AC = 4.5
Yes
No

I really don’t get this question! Can someone explain!

Answer 1

NO

Explanation:

We are given that ∆ABC is congruent to ∆XYZ. This implies that corresponding angles and side lengths are congruent to each other respectively.

AB corresponds to XY

AC corresponds to XZ

BC corresponds to YZ

We are given the length of AC and AB. Since we're not given the length of BC, it is impossible to determine the length of YZ without the angles of the triangle or simply knowing the length of BC.
