Answer:
by the SAS postulate (side-angle-side)
Step-by-step explanation:
This is an overlapping triangles problem. Try drawing them separately, essentially pulling them apart. Mark side XY and XZ as congruent (given).
Angle X is shared by the two triangles, so angle X in triangle XAZ is congruent to angle A in triangle XBY.
Answer:
StartRoot 53 EndRoot units
XY = √53
Step-by-step explanation:
Choose which is point 1 and point 2 so you don't confuse the coordinates.
Point 1 (–4, 0) x₁ = –4 y₁ = 0
Point 2 (3, 2) x₂ = 3 y₂ = 2
Use the formula for the distance between two points.
Therefore the line of segment XY is √53.
