Hello,
so all you have to do is match the abbreviations to the triangles. The abbreviations stand for what is the SAME in both triangles, denoted by similar markings on equal sides and angles.
Abbreviations:
SSS = Side-Side-Side
SAS = Side-Angle-Side
ASA = Angle-Side-Angle
AAS = Angle-Angle-Side
HL = Hypotenuse-Leg
* Note - the angle side angle must go around the triangle in that order. ASA has the side BETWEEN the congruent angles.. SSA does NOT work.
(9.) ASA
(10.) AAS
(11.) SSS
(12.) No way to tell if congruent. (only 3 angles no side)
(13.) ASA
(14.) SAS
(15.) HL
<em>Answer:</em>
( B ) x = 6.5
<em>Step-by-step explanation:</em>
We know that all the angles of a triangle equal 180 when added together. So lets make an equation for this question.
(10x-10) + (10x+8) + 8x = 180
I just took all the angles and added them together to make 180. Now solve for x.
10x - 10 + 10x + 8 + 8x = 180 <em>(combined like terms)</em>
28x -2 = 180 <em>(added 2 to both sides)</em>
28x = 182 <em>(divided both sides by 28)</em>
x = 6.5
Answer:
A) 
B)
