Given right triangle A w/a hypotenuse length of 3y + x and a leg of y-x, and right triangle B, w/ a hypotense length of y+5 and
a leg length of x+5, for what values of x and y are the triangles congruent by HL?
1 answer:
Triangle A
hypotenuse: 3y + x
leg: y - x
Triangle B
hypotenuse: y + 5
leg: x + 5
Congruency => 3y + x = y + 5 and y - x = x + 5
Solve the system
3y + x = y + 5 -> 2y + x = 5
y - x = x + 5 -> y - 2x = 5
2y + x = 5
-2y + 4x = -10
5x = -5
x = -1
y = (5 -(-1)) / 2 = 6/2 = 3
Verify:
hypotenuses
3y + x = 9 - 1 = 8
y + 5 = 3 + 5 = 8
Legs:
y - x = 3 -(-1) = 3 + 1 = 4
x + 5 = -1 + 5 = 4.
Then both hypotenuses and both legs are congruent.
Answer: x = -1 and y = 3

5-0.9 is 4.1, minus 1.5 is 2.1.
If you round 1506 down to 1500, then you can divide that by 2. rounding it down will make it easier.
