Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Identify Corresponding Sides
For the triangles to be congruent, their corresponding sides must have equal lengths. Side CD corresponds to side XY, side BD corresponds to side YZ, and side BC corresponds to side XZ.
Step 2: Set up Equations
We are given CD = 18 and YZ = 41. Also, BD = t and YZ = 41. BC is unknown, and XZ is unknown. Finally, XY = s and CD = 18.
