GEOMETRY: In the diagram, triangle ABC is congruent to triangle DEF. Find the values of X and Y?

Question

Answer 1

Favourite answer

In the diagram, triangle ABC is congruent to triangle DEF. 

The values of x and y:

x = 5 in, y = 20°

Answer 2

eq1

7x + y = 55

y = 55 - 7x

eq2

3x - 3 = 12

3x  = 12 + 3

3x = 15

x = 5

y = 55 - 7(5) = 20

so

7x + y = 7(5) + 20 = 55°  answer//

3x - 3 = 3(5) - 3 = 12 in    answer//

Answer 3

Since the triangles are congruent , then  AB = DE  & angle C = Angle F 

12 = 3x - 3 & 55 = 7x + y 

Hence 9 = 3x 

x = 3 

When x = 3 

55 = 7(3) + y 

55 = 21 + y 

y = 34 

Answer 4

DE is 12 so x is 5

7 x 5 = 35   55 - 35 = 20 so 7 = 20 I think .

So x = 5 and y = 20 maybe .

Answer 5

If they are congruent, 7x + y = 55 degrees, and 

3x - 3 inches  = 12 inches

You do the rest.

Answer 6

From diagram with triangle ABC is congruent to triangle DEF

---> ∠C =∠ F

and AB = DE

solve 2 equations for x , y

Answer 7

Surprising how many people get try to get their education on Yahoo! Answers or get

others to do their coursework and then pass it off as their own.
