Answer:
1.) Triangle ABC is congruent to Triangle CDA because of the SAS theorem
2.) Triangle JHG is congruent to Triangle LKH because of the SSS theorem
Step-by-step explanation:
Alright. Let's start with the 1st figure. How do we prove that triangles ABC and CDA (they are named properly) are congruent? First, we can see that segments BC and AD have congruent markings, so that can help us. We also see a parallel marking for those segments as well, meaning that the diagonal AC is also a transversal for those parallel segments. That means we can say that angle CAD is congruent to angle ACB because of the alternate interior angles theorem. Then, the 2 triangles also share the side AC (reflexive property).
So, we have 2 congruent sides and 1 congruent angle for each triangle. And in the way they are listed, this makes the triangles congruent by the SAS theorem since the angle is adjacent to the 2 sides that are congruent.
The second figure is way easier. As you can clearly see by the congruent markings on the diagram, all the sides on one triangle are congruent to the other. So, since there are 3 sides congruent, we can say the triangles JHG and LKH are congruent by the SSS theorem.

Answer:
JK ≅ MN
Step-by-step explanation:
SAS states that any two sides of the angle and the angle itself, if , of two triangles are equal the two triangles are equal.
It is given that ∠J ≅ ∠M and JL ≅ MR i.e an angle and a side are equal. We need one more side to prove that the two triangles are equal.
If we look at the diagram closely we see that the angles J and M are formed by the sides JK & JL and MN& MR.
It is given that JL ≅ MR so we are left with JK ≅ MN
So the first thing you want to do when faced with two fractions with different denominators (when subtracting or adding) is to make the denominators the same. So for this equation they would turn out to be p+10/16=15/16 (because 16 is the lowest common denominator, 8 times two) so then you want to subtract 10/16 from 15/16 to isolate the variable (p) which would get:
p=5/16
This is the final answer because it cannot be simplified.
Hope this helps!
