Find the values of X and Y that makes these triangles congruent by the HL theorem

muminat

Answer:

C. x = 3, y = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

If both triangles are congruent by the HL Theorem, then their hypotenuse and a corresponding leg would be equal to each other.

Thus:

x + 3 = 3y (eqn. 1) => equal hypotenuse

Also,

x = y + 1 (eqn. 2) => equal legs

✔️Substitute x = y + 1 into eqn. 1 to find y.

x + 3 = 3y (eqn. 1)

(y + 1) + 3 = 3y

y + 1 + 3 = 3y

y + 4 = 3y

y + 4 - y = 3y - y

4 = 2y

Divide both sides by 2

4/2 = 2y/2

2 = y

y = 2

✔️ Substitute y = 2 into eqn. 2 to find x.

x = y + 1 (eqn. 2)

x = 2 + 1

x = 3

The area of a rectangle is 27ft squared, and the length of the rectangle is 3ft less than twice the width. Find the dimensions o

oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

width =4.5ft

length=6ft

Step-by-step explanation:

w = x

L = 2x-3

area = L*w

27 = x(2x-3)

$27=2x^{2} -3x$

$2x^{2} -3x-27=0$

$2x^{2} +6x-9x-27=0$

2x(x+3)-9(x+3)=0

(2x-9)(x+3)=0

2x-9=0

2x=9

x=9/2

x=4.5

L=2x-3=2*4.5-3 =9-3=6
