(a)
To explain:
Two methods to use to prove that
(a)
Answer to Problem 29HP
Method 1: Using the Distance Formula to find the length of each side, and then using the Postulate of Side-Side-Side Congruence to show the congruent
Method 2: Find the slopes of
The method 2 is more efficient, because only need two steps to solve instead of three.
Explanation of Solution
Given Information:
Method 1: Using the Distance Formula to find the length of each side, and then using the Postulate of Side-Side-Side Congruence to show the congruent triangles.
Method2: Find the slopes of
Since the triangles share the leg
Thus, the method 2 is moreefficient, because only need two steps to solve instead ofthree.
(b)
