Answer: Phillip is correct. The triangles are <u>not </u>congruent.
How do we know this? Because triangle ABC has the 15 inch side between the two angles 50 and 60 degrees. The other triangle must have the same set up (just with different letters XYZ). This isn't the case. The 15 inch side for triangle XYZ is between the 50 and 70 degree angle.
This mismatch means we cannot use the "S" in the ASA or AAS simply because we don't have a proper corresponding pair of sides. If we knew AB, BC, XZ or YZ, then we might be able to use ASA or AAS.
At this point, there isn't enough information. So that means John and Mary are incorrect, leaving Phillip to be correct by default.
Note: Phillip may be wrong and the triangles could be congruent, but again, we don't have enough info. If there was an answer choice simply saying "there isn't enough info to say either if the triangles are congruent or not", then this would be the best answer. Unfortunately, it looks like this answer is missing. So what I bolded above is the next best thing.
Answer:
The answer is below
Step-by-step explanation:
We must first define the concepts a little:
We have that when the sides are congruent that is to say that they have the same direction and the same size and also the two opposite sides are parallel, the angles will be the same.
Now, in an isosceles triangle, two angles are congruent, because their two sides are congruent.
Basically solve for y
minus 5x fromboth sides
-15y=-5x-60
divide both sides by -15
y=1/3x+4
The answer is 3 at least thats what ive learned
One way is to factor 150 and add the factors
150+1=151, nope
2+75=77, nope
3+50=53, nope
5+30=35, nope
6+25=31, yep
the numbers are 6 and 25
