Question

For the triangles to be congruent by HL, what must be the value of x?

Answer 1

just to confirm it is 8

Answer:

x = 8

Explanation:

4x + 2 = 34

- 2 - 2

4x = 32

x = 8

Answer 2

x = 8

Explanation:

For the triangles to be congruent, then the legs

ED = AB, that is

4x + 2 = 34 ( subtract 2 from both sides )

4x = 32 ( divide both sides by 4 )

x = 8
