Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The time for each canoe is 3.5 hours

The total distance traveled by the first canoe is not known. Nor is the distance for the second canoe. We do know that the difference is 5.25 miles.

So let the rate of the slower canoe = x

Let the rate for the second canoe = 2x

The first canoe goes a distance of 2*x * 3.5 = 7x

The second canoe goes a distance of 3.5x

The difference = 7x - 3.5x = 5.25

3.5x = 5.25                                       divide by 3.5

x = 5.25/3.5

x = 1.5 which is the rate of the slower canoe

2x = 3  which is the rate of the faster canoe

State what additional information is required in order to know that the triangles are congruent by SAS
zalisa [80]
<h3>You are correct. The answer is the second choice.</h3>

BC = JC by the single tickmarks shown

CD = CD because of the reflexive property

The angles between these two pairs of sides, that you've marked in the second answer choice, are needed to use SAS (side angle side).

See the diagram below. In the diagram, angle BCD (green) is between segments BC and CD. Also, angle JCD (blue) is between JC and CD.
