given triangle UVW is congruent to triangle TSR find the values of x (12x-7), y (5y-33), and z (3z+14)
1 answer:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the image attached. For two triangles to be congruent, then the sides of UVW is equal to that of TSR
From the diagram given
TR = UW
Given
TR = 50
UW = 3z+14
Equate and find z;
3z+14 = 50
3z = 50-14
3z = 36
z = 36/3
z = 12
VW = RS
Given
VW = 27
RS = 5y - 33
Equate
5y-33 = 27
5y = 27+33
5y = 60
y = 60/5
y = 12
Also TS = UV
TS = 53
UV = 12x+7
Equate:
12x-7 = 53
12x = 53+7
12x = 60
x = 60/12
x = 5
Hence x = 5, y = 12 and z = 12

so we have a 60-30-90 triangle (top one)
so since we know 6 is x (the side on the right angle and 60 degrees)
b is 2x or 2(6) = 12
a is x√3 = 6√3
for C I need to use a 45 45 90 triangle
Since b is 12 and its x√2 to find x we should write it as
x√2 = 12
√2 √2 divide by √2
x = 12/√2 but we must rationalize the denominator
12/√2 times √2/√2 = 12√2/2 and that's c
