What theorem can be used to prove that the two triangles are congruent?

dont think so

step-by-step explanation:

let x and 400 - x be the two numbers.  

==> 0.80x + 0.85(400 - x) = 400 - 68 from the statement of the problem.  

< ==> 0.80x + 0.85(400 - x) = 400 - 68  

==> 340 - 0.05x = 332  

< ==> -0.05x = -8 ==> x = 160, the first number ==> 400 - x = 240, the second number.

the transitive property of equality.

step-by-step explanation:

the correct answer is:

the transitive property of equality.

explanation:

we know that  ∠bcd is congruent to  ∠pbc. we also know that  ∠pbc is congruent to  ∠bad.

we can substitute  ∠bad for  ∠pbc in the first angle congruence statement to give us:

∠bcd is congruent to  ∠bad.

algebraically, the transitive property states if a=b and b=c, then a=c. it basically allows us to substitute equal values. since that is what we did, this is the transitive property.
