According to HL theorem if one leg and hypotenuse of one right triangle are equal to one leg and hypotenuse of other right triangle, then the triangles are congruent.
By using this theorem we can set up the system of equations as follows:
x=y+1 ...(1)
2x+3= 3y + 3 ..(2)
By using equation (1) next step is to plug in y+1 for x in equation (2). So,
2 ( y + 1) + 3 = 3y + 3
2y + 2 + 3 = 3y + 3 By using distribution property.
2y + 5 = 3y + 3
2y + 5 - 5 = 3y + 3 - 5 Subtract 5 from each side.
2y = 3y - 2
2y - 3y = -2 Subtract 3y from each sides.
-y = -2
So, y=2
Next step is to plug in y=2 in equation (1) to get the value of x. Hence,
x= 2+1
=3
So, x=3 and y=2 make these triangles congruent.
So, the correct choice is 3. x = 3, y = 2.
Answer: c
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
57, 59, and 61.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
36in²
Step-by-step explanation:
<h3>Area of the White Region: </h3>
A = l * w
The rectangle is 3 by 2.
A = 3 * 2
A = 6
The white part of the rectangle is 6in².
<h3>Area of the blue region:</h3>
A = l * w
The rectangle is 6 by 7.
A = 6*7
A = 42
The blue part of the rectangle is 42in².
<h3>Area of the shaded region:</h3>
[area of the blue part] - [area of the white part]
42 - 6 = 36
The area of the shaded region should be 36in².
