Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
∠JLK = ∠KMJ
LK = MJ
∠LKJ = ∠MJK
∆JKL ≅ ∆KJM {Angle side Angle - ASA congruence}
Yes, the triangles are congruent by ASA
we know that
If any two angles and the included side are the same in both triangles, then the triangles are congruent by Angle-Side-Angle (ASA)
In this problem
LK=MJ
∠KLJ=∠KMJ
∠LKJ=∠MJK
so
Two angles and the included side is equal in triangle JKL and triangle KJM
therefore
JKL≅KJM ----> by ASA
Using the distance formula:
Hope this helps!
-3+(-5)
Checking our answer:
Adding this does indeed give -8
