Question

GEOMETRY Help me please!!!!

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 10

y = 6

Explanation:

If ∆ABC is congruent to ∆GEF, therefore their corresponding side lengths would be equal to each other. Thus:

x - 8 = 2 (corresponding sides of both triangles are equal)

Add 8 to both sides

x - 8 + 8 = 2 + 8

x = 10

Also:

x - y = 4 (corresponding sides of both triangles are equal)

Plug in the value of x

10 - y = 4

10 - y - 10 = 4 - 10

-y = 4 - 10

-y = -6

-y/-1 = -6/-1

y = 6
