Chap 4 Congruent Triangles Answers

1. The third angle of a triangle is 25° if one angle is 53° and another is 102° (alternative interior angles sum to 180°). 2. In an equilateral triangle, each angle is 60° so x = √3. 3. The triangles are congruent by the AAS criterion from the given information about corresponding angles and included sides.
