If A, B and C are collinear, then:

AB+BC=AC\\\\AB=x+4,\ BC=2x-10,\ AC=2x+1

substitute:

(x+4)+(2x-10)=2x+1\\\\(x+2x)+(4-10)=2x+1\\\\3x-6=2x+1\ \ \ |+6\\\\3x=2x+7\ \ \ \ |-2x\\\\x=7\\\\AB=x+4\to AB=7+4=11\\\\BC=2x-10\to BC=2(7)-10=14-10=4\\\\AC=AB+BC\to AC=11+4=15

I don't get the subject of congruent triangles. How do I figure out if there's not enough information to know if it is congruent
babymother [125]

Answer:

Okay, there are many ways to find if a triangle is congruent.

Let's start with some different terminology.

For the sake of simplicity let us say that S stands for when a side is congruent for both triangles and A stands for when an angle (<) is congruent between both the triangles as well.

So, you need to memorize some rules. If you find that 2 triangles are congruent in the sense of; SSS, SAS, AAS, SAA, and ASA. One thing to remember is that Angle Side Side isn't congruent and is called <em>Donkey Theorem</em>. This theorem only works for right triangles.

One way to know if your triangle isn't congruent is if you can find a part of the triangle that is different.

I know that wasn't the best explanation but I hope it helped anyhow. :)
