Exercise 11 Page 274

Start by writing all of the congruence statements for the sides.

WX=5

Practice makes perfect
We are given that W X Y Z≅ P Q R S. Using this congruence relationship, we will find the length of WX. First, we can identify each pair of congruent sides. cc W X≅ P Q &X Y≅ Q R Y Z≅ R S &Z W≅ S P

Since WX≅ PQ, we know that WX=PQ. Let's look at the relevant information on the given diagram.

Finally, we can determine the length of WX using the known measurements. PQ= 5 ⇒ WX= 5
