Question

2. Use the diagram and given information to answer the questions and prove the statement.

a. Re-draw the diagram of the overlapping triangles so that the two triangles are separated.

b. What additional information would be necessary to prove that the two triangles, XBY and ZAY , are congruent? What congruency would be applied?

c. Prove (AZ) is congruent to (BX) using a flow chart proof. ( ):both have a line over them

Answer 2

`\huge{ \underline{ \tt{ \purple{Solution:}}}}`

2) a)⚘ Refer to the attachment....

After separating, we will get two triangles △XYB and △ZYA where ∠Y is common to both the triangles, hence their measure is equal. This will be use in further proof.

b) We have,

• ∠X = ∠Z (Given, ATQ)
• ∠Y = common to both triangles.
• XY = ZY

So, here

Two pairs of corresponding angles are equal along the side contained between them. So, The above triangles are congurent by ASA criterion.

✤ No more additional information Required to prove the above triangles be congurent.

➝ △XYB ≅ △ZYA (By ASA Criterion)

c) By using flow chart proof:

`\boxed{ \sf{ \angle X = \angle Z}} \searrow`

`\boxed{ \sf{\small{ \angle Y = com.}}} \rightarrow \boxed{\small{ \sf{ \triangle XYB \cong \triangle ZYA}}}\rightarrow \small{\boxed{ \sf{AZ= XB}}}`

`\boxed{ \sf{XY = ZY}} \\earrow`
