① Calculate side lengths for both triangles using distance formula
OEFG has vertices at ECI D. H2 -5) and GM -4 ) -

Are these triangles congruent ? Cusesss)

AB=J( 0-172+13 -
D2 EF=JL2 -112+1-5+172
② conclusion :
ATEFG and AT EF
=jity=jF =VttT=VtT
but BT # EG so -

BC=J( 2-012+15-372
-

FG=J( 4-272+(-4+5) '

NO , OABC # OEFG =j4tT=jJ =V4tT=V5

AC=J(2-D2t(5# EG=J(4-h2tfy_#
