Examine the two triangles. Are the triangles congruent? Justify your conclusions. If they are congruent, complete the following statement: "Yes, triangle __ congruent to triangle __ giving a detailed explanation of your reasoning. If they are not congruent, explain why you think so. Be specific in your answer and make sure to show your work.

The triangles are not congruent

Explanation:

For triangle DEF, the missing angle D is

D+E+F = 180

D+80+60 = 180

D+140 = 180

D = 180-140

D = 40

While the missing angle K in triangle JKL is

J+K+L = 180

80+K+50 = 180

K+130 = 180

K = 180-130

K = 50

The three angles for triangle DEF are

The three angles for triangle JKL are

We don't have all the angles matching up. We need to have the same three numbers (the order doesn't matter) show up for both triangles in order for the triangles to be congruent. This is because congruent triangles have congruent corresponding angles.

The only pair that matches is E = 80 and J = 80, but everything else is different. So there is no way the triangles are congruent.

Notice how triangle JKL has two congruent base angles (K = 50 and L = 50), so this triangle is isosceles. Triangle DEF is not isosceles as we have three different angles, so this triangle is scalene.

answer: given that the roller coaster can accommodate 1600 riders per hour, thus the roller coaster can accomodate 1600 / 60 = 26.67 riders per minute.

given that there are 345 people in the line, the number of minutes it will take for the 345 persons to get into the roller coaster is given by 345 / 26.67 = 12.94 minutes.

therefore, it will take you 12.94 minutes to get to the front of the line.
