A board 8 feet long is to be used as a temporary brace for a section of fence that has a broken post. If the board is nailed to the fence 6 feet above ground level, about how far
from the base of the fence is the other end of the board when it is fastened to a stake in
the ground?

∠lno ≅ ∠lnm

∠oln ≅ ∠mln

step-by-step explanation:

given   that triangle lno is congruent to triangle lnm.

we have to fill up the blanks in the given question.

according to above order of congruency   kept in mind we can say that

∠lno ≅ ∠lnm

∠oln ≅ ∠mln

ln ≅ ln due to common in both.

hence, by sas congruency,

the side angle side rule   states that if two sides and the included angle of one triangle are congruent to another triangle, then these two triangles are congruent.

i did it myself and i got 4.2 (b) hope its right

step-by-step explanation:

12r - 8 - 12

you have to combine like terms. below i have bolded the like terms:

12r - 8 - 12

together it combines to:

12r - 20

hope this !
