Step 1
From the given information, we can see that two sides and the included angle of the two triangles are equal. So, we can use the SAS (Side-Angle-Side) congruence rule to find the value of the variable. The corresponding sides are (3z-3)cm and (5+x)cm. So, we Show more…

In Exercises 1 to 4, consider the congruent triangles shown. For the triangles shown, we can express their congruence with the statement △ABC ≅ △FED. By reordering the vertices, express this congruence with a different statement. 2. With corresponding angles indicated, the triangles shown are congruent. Find the lengths of sides indicated by a, b, and c. 3. With corresponding angles indicated, find m∠A if m∠F = 72°. 4. With corresponding angles indicated, find m∠E if m∠A = 57° and m∠C = 85°.
