Kelly was asked to determine whether △KLN is congruent to △MNL. She noted that KL ≅ MN, LM ≅ KN, and that the three pairs of cor

responding angles are congruent. She said that this is only five pairs of congruent corresponding parts, so it is not possible to conclude that △KLN is congruent to △MNL. Do you agree with Kelly's reasoning? Complete the explanation.

Answer:

<h2>Kelly is wrong, with this congruent parts, we can conclude that triangles are congruent.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

To demonstrate congruent triangles, we need to use the proper postulates. There are at least 5 postulates we can use.

  • Angle-Angle-Side Theorem (AAS theorem).
  • Hypotenuse-Leg Theorem (HL theorem).
  • Side-Side-Side Postulate (SSS postulate).
  • Angle-Side-Angle Postulate (ASA postulate).
  • Side-Angle-Side Postulate (SAS postulate).

In this case, Kelly SAS postulate, because the corresponding sides-angles-sides are congruent, i.e., KL ≅ MN and LM ≅ KN, also, all corresponding angles are congruent.

So, as you can see, only using SAS postulate, the congruency can be demonstrated. (Refer to the image attached to see an example of SAS postulate)

Can someone help find X on the Triangle plssss
Georgia [21]

Answer:

<em>x </em>= 128°

Step-by-step explanation:

Its an isosceles triangle, so it has 2 two sides of equal length. and from here we can say that it has two angles that are the same, 26° and 26° we know that in a triangle there are 180° in total so we add up the two angles we know 26+26=52 and subtract it by 180  which equals 128°

GJ is a midsegment of triangle DEF, and HK is a midsegment of triangle GFJ. What is the length of HK?
loris [4]

Answer:

Option B) 4 centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

step 1

Find the value of n

we know that

a) GJ is a midsegment of triangle DEF

then

G is the midpoint segment DF and J is the midpoint segment EF

DG=GF and EJ=JF

b) HK is a midsegment of triangle GFJ

then

H is the midpoint segment GF and K is the midpoint segment JF

GH=HF and JK=KF

In this problem we have

HF=7 cm

so

GH=7 cm

GF=GH+HF ----> by addition segment postulate

GF=7+7=14 cm

Remember that

DG=GF

substitute the given values

2n-1=14

solve for n

2n=14+1

2n=15

n=7.5\ cm

step 2

Find the length of GJ

we know that

The <u><em>Midpoint Theorem</em></u> states that the segment joining two sides of a triangle at the midpoints of those sides is parallel to the third side and is half the length of the third side

so

GJ=\frac{1}{2}DE

we have

GE=2n+1=2(7.5)+1=16\ cm

substitute

GJ=\frac{1}{2}16=8\ cm

step 3

Find the length of HK

we have that

HK=\frac{1}{2}GJ ----> by the midpoint theorem

we have

GJ=8\ cm

substitute

HK=\frac{1}{2}8=4\ cm
