A) prove that MQX is congruent to MRY

Side MQ is similar to side MR.

- This is because since M is the mid point of QR, both MQ and MR are half of QR.

Angle MXQ and MYR are 90°

Sides QX and RY are similar.

- This is because angle X and Y are 90° and MQ and MR are equal.

∴ MQX is congruent to MRY.

it's equivalent, so we can say that its equal.

let's call the denominator x and the numerador is 18 less then denominator, x - 18.

multiply

2.x = 5.(x - 18)

2x = 5x - 90

90 = 5x - 2x

90 = 3x

x = 90/3

x = 30

so:

5
