Mathematical Practices
3 Construct viable arguments and critique the
reasoning of others.

G.CO.7 Use the definition of congruence in
terms of rigid motions to show that two triangles
are congruent if and only if corresponding pairs
of sides and corresponding pairs of angles are
congruent.
G.CO.12 Make formal geometric constructions
with a variety of tools and methods (compass
and straightedge, string, reflective devices,
paper folding, dynamic geometric software,
etc.).
G.SRT.5 Use congruence and similarity criteria
for triangles to solve problems and to prove
relationships in geometric figures.
You identified and used congruent angles.
S, E ≅ Q
Are the corresponding sides of the polygons congruent? Yes
≅ QR
C ≅ P, D ≅ S, E ≅ Q
6y – 14 = 40 P≅ O
6y = 54 Solve for y. Add 14 to both
sides.
y=9 Divide both sides by 6.
x – 2y = 7.5 IT NG
x – 2(9) = 7.5 y=9
x – 18 = 7.5 Solve for x by adding 18 to
both sides.
x = 25.5
Answer: x = 25.5, y = 9
Use the Third Angles Theorem
m J = m K = 72 J≅ K
72 + 72 + JIK = 180 The angles of a triangle add
together to 180.
JIK = 36 JIK ≅ JIH
JIH = 36 Corresponding parts of
congruent triangles are congruent.
Answer: mJIH = 36
