Answer:
Explanation:
Part 1
Corresponding angles and sides of ΔMNP and ΔUVW are congruent:
- ∠M ≅ ∠U MP ≅ UW
- ∠P ≅ ∠W PN ≅ WV
- ∠N ≅ ∠V MN ≅ UV
Part 2
The triangles are congruent by SAS. One side and angle marked as congruent and another side is congruent as common to both.
Corresponding sides are congruent:
- 3x - 5 = 2x + 1
- 3x - 2x = 1 + 5
- x = 6
Part 3
Given ∠C ≅ ∠D
In order to prove the congruence of ΔAED and ΔBEC by ASA we need another angle and the included side to be congruent.
We can observe ∠AED ≅ ∠BEC as vertical angles.
Additional information we need is:
Part 4
Triangles ABC and ADC are congruent by SAS:
- AB ≅ AD
- ∠DAC ≅ ∠BAC
- AC ≅ AC
Therefore corresponding sides BC and CD are also congruent
Perimeter of ABCD is:
- P = AB + BC + CD + AD
- P = 12.1 + 7.8 + 7.8 + 12.1 = 39.8 cm
