The true statements about the triangles RST and DEF are: (a), (d) and (e)
<h3>How to determine the true statements?</h3>
The statement ΔRST ≅ ΔDEF means that the triangles RST and DEF are congruent.
This above implies that:
- The triangles can be mapped onto each other by rigid transformations such as reflection, translation and rotation
- The transformation does not include dilation
- Corresponding sides are congruent
The above means that the possible true statements are: (a), (d) and (e)

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
5. is hypothenuse because it is across from the right angle
3. and 4. are legs
There is a not so well-known theorem that solves this problem.
The theorem is stated as follows:
"Each angle bisector of a triangle divides the opposite side into segments proportional in length to the adjacent sides" (Coxeter & Greitzer)
This means that for a triangle ABC, where angle A has a bisector AD such that D is on the side BC, then
BD/DC=AB/AC
Here either
BD/DC=6/5=AB/AC, where AB=6.9,
then we solve for AC=AB*5/6=5.75,
or
BD/DC=6/5=AB/AC, where AC=6.9,
then we solve for AB=AC*6/5=8.28
Hence, the longest and shortest possible lengths of the third side are
8.28 and 5.75 units respectively.
The answer I got was 417/50 hope this helps you
