Question 173263: I need to write 4 conclusions and justifications for this problem but i don't know what to do.
Given: triangle WHY is congruent to triangle TOC
triangle TOC is congruent to triangle PAL
To Prov: WH is congruent to PA

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
triangle WHY is congruent to triangle TOC
For 2 triangles to bee congruent, each of the three pairs of sides and each of the 3 paris of angles must be congruent. Since WHY is congruent to TOC, then you know WH = TO.
Moving to the next line,
triangle TOC is congruent to triangle PAL
Using the same logic as above, you can say that TO = PA
You also know that if A =B and B=C, then A=C. So, since WH=TO and TO=PA, then you can conclude that WH=PA
Not sure how 4 justifications is needed here. Seems to me like 3 will suffice.
