Triangle Congruence Proof: Comparing Triangles with 30° Angles and X+2 Side Length

Question

Are the triangles in the drawing congruent?

303030303030X+2X+2X+23333332X+4

Step-by-Step Solution

In order for triangles to be congruent, one must demonstrate that the S.A.S theorem is satisfied

We have a common side whose length in both triangles is equal to 3.

Now let's examine the lengths of the other sides:

2X+4=X+2 2X+4=X+2

We proceed with the sections accordingly:24=2XX 2-4=2X-X

2=X -2=X

We place this value in the right triangle we should find the length of the side:2+2=0 -2+2=0

However since it is not possible for the length of a side to be equal to 0, the triangles are not congruent.

Answer

No
