Exercise 1
Step 1
1 of 2
a. The sum of all angles in a triangle is 180$text{textdegree}$.

$$
angle ITR=angle NGA=180text{textdegree}-90text{textdegree}-28text{textdegree}=62text{textdegree}
$$

Since all three pair of angles are congruent and two pairs of sides are congruent, the third pair of sides also have to be equivalent.

The rigid transformations needed will be a rotation and a translation.

b.
$$
triangle IRT cong triangle NAG
$$

There are multiple correct congruence statements, by reordering the letters in one triangle name and then applying the same reordering to the other triangle name.

Result

a. Rotation and translation

b. $triangle IRT cong triangle NAG$

Exercise 2
Step 1
1 of 2
a. $angle M$ is in between the side of length 15 and the side of length 6, the same is true for $angle U$ and thus $angle M$ is congruent with $angle U$.

$angle N$ is in between the side of length 15 and the side of length 12, the same is true for $angle W$ and thus $angle N$ is congruent with $angle W$.

$angle P$ is in between the side of length 12 and the side of length 6, the same is true for $angle V$ and thus $angle P$ is congruent with $angle V$.

The congruence statement then becomes:

$$
triangle MNPcong triangle UWV
$$

b. A rotation of 180$text{textdegree}$ about $P$ and a translation is sufficient.

Result

a. $triangle MNPcong triangle UWV$

b. A rotation of 180$text{textdegree}$ about $P$ and a translation is sufficient.

Exercise 3

$$

Result

Exercise 4
Step 1
1 of 2
a.
$$
SAS: triangle ABC cong triangle FED
$$

You would need a rotation and a translation to map one triangle on the other.

b. Not congruent, because the indicated angle in the first triangle lies between the known sides, but not in the second triangle.

c. Using the vertical angles and alternate interior angles are equivalent:
$$
ASA: triangle MNXcong triangle ZYX
$$

You would need a rotation about $X$ at 180$text{textdegree}$ counterclockwise.

d.
$$
RHS: triangle ACD cong triangle ABD
$$

You would need a reflection about $AD$.

e. Using alternate interior angles are equivalent:
$$
AAS: triangle EFHcong triangle GHF
$$

You would need a rotation and a translation to map one triangle on the other.

Exercise 5
Step 1
1 of 2
SSS, SAS, ASA, AAS and HL are the rules to determine the congruence of two triangles.

SSS: three pairs of corresponding sides are congruent

SAS: two pairs of corresponding sides are congruent and the included angles are also congruent

ASA: two pairs of corresponding angles are congruent and the corresponding sides between them are congruent.

AAS: two pairs of corresponding angles are congruent and a pair of corresponding sides not in between the angle are congruent.

HL: The hypotenuse and a leg of both right triangles are congruent.

Result

SSS, SAS, ASA, AAS and HL are the rules to determine the congruence of two triangles.
Exercise 6
Step 1
1 of 2
a. The two triangles are congruent, because they have two angles of the same measure and the included sides are equal in length.
$$
ASA: triangle ABDcong triangle CBD
$$

b. The two triangles are congruent, because they have two pairs of sides of the same lengths and the included angles have the same measure.

$$
SAS: triangle DBCcong triangle ACB
$$

c. Vertical pairs and alternate interior angles are equivalent, which implies that we have three pairs of equivalent angles in the two triangles. However, the side $CD$ in $triangle CDE$ corresponds with side $AC$ in $triangle ABC$, which are not necessarily equally long (similarly, side $BC$ and side $CE$ are not necessarily equally long) and thus we cannot determine whether the two triangles are congruent.

d. The two triangles are congruent, because they have two angles of the same measure and a pair of non-included corresponding sides of equal length.

$$
AAS: triangle ADBcong triangle BCA
$$

e. Cannot be determined, because we do not know if there is a pair of corresponding sides that are congruent.

f. The two triangles are congruent, because they have three pairs of sides of the same lengths.

Exercise 8
Step 1
1 of 2
a. Yes, the slope of the segments is given by $dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

$$
Slope AB: dfrac{6-4}{1+3}=dfrac{1}{2}

$$

$$
Slope CD: dfrac{-4+2}{1-5}=dfrac{1}{2}
$$

$$
Slope DA: dfrac{4+4}{-3-1}=-2

Since parallel lines have the same slope and perpendicular lines have slopes whose product is $-1$, we then know that the shape is a rectangle.

$$

The area of a rectangle is the product of the length and the width of the rectangle:

$$

b. Group like terms:

$$

This is not possible, since zero cannot equal 15 and thus the equation has no solutions.

Group like terms:

$$
3x+6x=41+15-2

Simplify:

$$
-4x=-70
$$

Divide both sides of the equation by $-4$:

$$
x=17.5
$$

Determine the angles:

$$
5x+7=5(17.5)+7=94.5text{textdegree}

Step 1

a. The sum of all angles in a triangle is 180$text{textdegree}$:

$$
180text{textdegree}-75text{textdegree}-35text{textdegree}=70text{textdegree}

x=180text{textdegree}-70text{textdegree}=110text{textdegree}
$$

b. Supplementary angles:

$$
180text{textdegree}-140text{textdegree}=40text{textdegree}

Exercise 35
Step 1
1 of 2
The converse interchanges the statement after if with the statement after then.

a. The lines that are crossed by a transversal are parallel$Rightarrow x$ and $y$ are supplementary.

b. $x$ and $y$ are supplementary $Rightarrow$ The lines that are crossed by a transversal are parallel

This is true.

c. Assume that same-side interior angles are supplementary but that the lines are not parallel. If the lines are not parallel, then there exists a point where the two lines intersect, let us call this point A. But then we have created a triangle with angles $x$ and $y$ and $angle A$. Since the sum of the angles in a triangle is 180$text{textdegree}$:

$$
x+y+angle A =180text{textdegree}
$$

Since $x$ and $y$ are supplementary:

$$
180text{textdegree}+angle A=180text{textdegree}
$$

Subtract 180$text{textdegree}$ from both sides of the equation:

$$
angle A=0text{textdegree}
$$

But the angle of the triangle cannot be zero, thus we have obtained a contradiction and thus the lines must be parallel.

a. Supplementary

a. Since one of the angles of the triangle is 90$text{textdegree}$, then the sum of the other two angles need to be 90$text{textdegree}$ too. Since 3 is less than 4, the angle opposite the side of length 3 needs to be smaller than the angle opposite the side of length 4. This then means that $x$ must be less than 45$text{textdegree}$.

b. Since one of the angles of the triangle is 90$text{textdegree}$, then the sum of the other two angles need to be 90$text{textdegree}$ too. Since both sides have length 18, the angle opposite the side of length 18 needs to be equal to the angle opposite the other side of length 18. This then means that $x$ must be equal than 45$text{textdegree}$.

Take the 3th root of both sides of the equation:

Multiply both sides of the equation by 12:

$$
x=dfrac{10cdot 12}{6}=20
$$

b.
$$
dfrac{w}{7}=dfrac{39}{3}
$$

Multiply both sides of the equation by 7:

$$
w=dfrac{39cdot 7}{3}=91
$$

Result
2 of 2
a. $x=20$

b. $w=91$

The total area is the sum of the subareas and is also the product of the length and the width.

a.
$$
(2x+1)(2x+1)=4x^2+2x+2x+1=4x^2+4x+1
$$

b.
$$
(2x)(4x)=8x^2
$$

c.
$$
2(3x+5)=6x+10
$$

d.
$$
y(2x+y+3)=2xy+y^2+3y
$$
