a) To find the missing side length on triangle A, we can use the Pythagorean theorem.
a^2 + 12^2 = 13^2
a^2 + 144 = 169
a^2 = 25
a = 5 cm
5 and 12 = 5 and 12
b) The two triangles are congruent because they have two side lengths in common. If at least two side lengths are the same on two triangles, then they are congruent. In addition, these triangles have one angle in common as well.
Hope this helps!! :)

Answer:
- (x +1)² = 4
- (D) x = -1 ±2
Step-by-step explanation:
Start by getting the x-terms on one side of the equal sign. We can do that by subtracting x from both sides.
3 = x² +2x
Now, add the square of half the x-coefficient.
3 +1 = x² +2x +1
(x +1)² = 4 . . . . . . . . write as a square in the desired form
__
To solve, take the square root, and add the opposite of the left-side constant.
x +1 = ±2
x = -1 ±2 . . . . . . matches choice (D)
