Hi, I need help asap.
1 answer:
part a) draw two triangles, translating one of them to the right.
part b) Consider triangles ΔYXB and ΔYZA. In these triangles:
- ∠Y is common, then ∠XYB≅∠ZYA (additional information that is needed);
- ∠YXB≅∠YZA (given);
- XY≅ZY (given).
Therefore, these two triangles have two congruent angles adjacent to congruent sides. By the ASA Postulate, ΔYXB≅ΔYZA.
ASA Postulate: If two angles and the included side of one triangle are congruent to two angles and the included side of a second triangle, then the triangles are congruent.
part c) flow chart proof:
- XY≅ZY (given);
- XB≅ZA (implies);
- YB≅YA (implies).

The side opposite to angle B is the side that does not contact with angle B.
In this attached image, you can see better that sides AB and BC is in contact with angle B. So, the opposite side to angle B is AC.
Therefore, the lenght of the side opposite to angle B is 4 units.
