SSS = Side-Side-Side
If three sides of one triangle are congruent to three sides of another triangle then the triangles are congruent.


SAS  = Side-Angle-Side
If two sides and the included angle are equal to the corresponding parts of another triangle then the triangles are congruent.'
The angle must be formed by the two pairs of congruent, corresponding sides of the triangles. If the angles are not formed by the two sides that are congruent and corresponding to the other triangle's parts then you cannot use the SAS postulate.

you will notice that the main difference between the two postulates is that the SAS consists of an angle and the SSS does not.

hope this helps :)

Which expression is equivalent to 8x-2x+x+x<br><br> a. 4x<br> b. 8x<br> c. 6x-2x<br> d. 10x-2y
Deffense [45]
B - 8x

To find this, combine like terms.

8x - 2x is 6x, then add the two x's on the side to bring it back to 8x.

Hope this helps!

What is the width of a rectangle with length 5.5 cm and area 220 cm^2
Reika [66]
In the given question it is given that the length of the rectangle is 5.5 cm and the area of the rectangle is 220 cm^2.
Length of the rectangle = 5.5 cm
Area of the rectangle = 220 cm^2
Then we already know that
Area of a rectangle = Length * width
So Width of the rectangle = Area of the rectangle/ Length
                                           = 220/5.5
                                           = 2200/55
                                           = 40
So the width of the rectangle is 40 cm.<span>Hope  that you have got the answer you were looking for.

I only need help with #10 :) offering 10 pts
Semenov [28]

Answer:

The length of one side of the square is 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of any given shape is all of the sides added together. So, the perimeter of the triangle is 5x + 4x + 3x. Added together, 12x.

The perimeter of the square is (x + 2)*4. Distributed, it's 4x + 8. Since we know they're equal, set it up like this:

12x = 4x + 8

You then find that x = 1. Plug that into one side of the square, x + 2, to get 3.
