SSS is 3 sides, you already know EF and DW are identical and the two triangles share side DF, so you would need to know that ED ≅ WF
Can you give us a picture of the question or is it a word problem
Answer:
The length of the pencils is 4.1 inches and for the crayons 1.5 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
We can solve by means of a 2x2 system of equations, we have to:
let "x" be the length of the pencils
let "y" be the length of the crayons
4 * x + 3 * y = 20.9
5 * x + 4 * y = 26.5 => x = (26.5 - 4 * y) / 5
Replacing:
4 * (26.5 - 4 * y) / 5 + 3 * y = 20.9
21.2 - 3.2 * y + 3 * y = 20.9
-0.2 * y = 20.9 - 21.2
y = -0.3 / -0.2
y = 1.5
now for x:
x = (26.5 - 4 * 1.5) / 5
x = 4.1
This means that the length of the pencils is 4.1 inches and for the crayons 1.5 inches
The nearst rounding to the tens is 230
