Question

2 congruent triangles solve for x and y

Answer 1

Answer:

3x+y=43

Step-by-step explanation:

because

ML~=SR

43=43

Answer 2

63 + 93 +3x =180

156 + 3x = 180

3x = 180 - 156

3x = 24

x = 24/3

x = 8

To find y, we equate 43 = 3x + y because the triangles are congruent.

We just found x to be 8.

Here is the set up to find y.

43 = 3(8) + y

43 = 24 + y

43 - 24 = y

19 = y

Done!
