Triangle RTS is congruent to RQS by AAS postulate of congruent

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us revise the cases of congruence

SSS ⇒ 3 sides in the 1st Δ ≅ 3 sides in the 2nd Δ
SAS ⇒ 2 sides and including angle in the 1st Δ ≅ 2 sides and including angle in the 2nd Δ
ASA ⇒ 2 angles and the side whose joining them in the 1st Δ ≅ 2 angles and the side whose joining them in the 2nd Δ
AAS ⇒ 2 angles and one side in the 1st Δ ≅ 2 angles and one side in the 2nd Δ
HL ⇒ hypotenuse leg of the 1st right Δ ≅ hypotenuse leg of the 2nd right Δ

∵ SR bisects angle TSQ ⇒ given

∴ ∠TSR ≅ ∠QSR

∴ m∠TSR ≅ m∠QSR

∵ ∠T ≅ ∠Q ⇒ given

∴ m∠T ≅ m∠Q

In two triangles RTS and RQS

∵ m∠T ≅ m∠Q

∵ m∠TSR ≅ m∠QSR

∵ RS is a common side in the two triangle

- By using the 4th case above

∴ Δ RTS ≅ ΔRQS ⇒ AAS postulate

Triangle RTS is congruent to RQS by AAS postulate of congruent

What is the surface area of the triangular prism shown?

Lunna [17]

Answer:

The first step that we are going to do is to solve the area of the top rectangle. We are given a width of 15 cm and a length of 25 cm so we can just multiply them against each other to get the area.

$Area = l * w$

$Area = 25\ cm * 15\ cm$

$Area = 375\ cm^2$

The second side that we are going to solve for is the bottom rectangle. We are given a width of 12 cm and a length of 25 cm so lets just multiply them against each other to get the area.

$Area = l * w$

$Area = 25\ cm * 12\ cm$

$Area = 300\ cm^2$

The next area that we are going to determine is the back rectangle which has a width of 9 cm and a length of 25 cm so lets just multiply them against each other to get the area.

$Area = l * w$

$Area = 25\ cm * 9\ cm$

$Area = 225\ cm^2$

The final area that we have to determine are the side triangles. After determining the area of one triangle we will have to multiply it by 2 to get the area for both of the triangles. We are given a base of 12 cm and a height of 9 cm so lets just use the formula to find the area.

$Area = \frac{1}{2}* b*h$
