Find FD.

Step-by-step explanation:

Congruent Triangles

The figure shows two triangles FCD and FED. One of their sides is the radius of the circle, they both form a 90° angle with the line CD and ED and they share the same segment FD.

Thus, both triangles are congruent and we have the length of a side (12 units), one common side (the hypotenuse) and one unknown leg that must be equal. Therefore

Solving

The required side FD is the hypotenuse of any of the triangles. The unknown leg can be calculated by

Or

Thus

Solving

solution:

we have to construct

∠m nt ≅ ∠p qr

the steps to draw this construction are

step 1: use a compass to draw an arc from point q which intersects the side pq at point a and the side qr at point b.

step 2: draw a segment nt and use the same width of the compass to draw an arc from point n which intersects the segment nt at a point x.

step 3:

step 4: join points n and y using a straightedge.

step 3:

option (d).maintaining the same width of the compass as ab, draw an arc from point x such that it intersects the arc drawn from n in a point y.

to draw   congruent angles , 1. width of compasses while drawing two angles should be same i.e from point at which angle has to be drawn, 2.the distance between the two points where the compass intersects the two sides should be same while drawing any two congruent angles.
