Question

Triangle ABC and DEF are congruent. Find x.

Answer 1

11/2. You can set x+6=3x-5 because when two triangles are congruent then all their corresponding sides and angles are congruent. Then solve for x and you get x=11/2

Answer 2

Since ABC is congruent to DEF we know that side AB is congruent to side DE. Set up the equations for both sides to equal one another (x + 6 = 3x - 5). Solve to find “x”:
- 6 = 2x - 5
- 11 = 2x
- x = 5.5
