Help! Show work! Triangle PQR ≅ Triangle XYZ
PQ = 3a + 4 and XY = 5a – 12. Find a and PQ.

Sagot :

Answer:

a= 8 and PQ= 28

Step-by-step explanation:

since triangle XYZ and triangle PQR are congruent, we will write the equation like this:

PQ=XY

3a+4= 5a—12

3a—5a= —12—4

—2a= —16

a= 8

SUBSTITUTE THE VALUE OF A IN THE EQUATION TO GET THE VALUE OF PQ

PQ= 3a+4

PQ= 3(8)+4

PQ= 24+4

PQ= 28
