14–16. Model the congruence of triangles of the problem below by
marking the figure and justify why the two triangles are
congruent.
Napoleon, on a river bank, wanted to know the width of the
stream. A young soldier faced direclty across the stream
and adjusted the visor of his cap until the tip of the visor
was in line with his eye and the opposite bank. Next he did
an about face and noted the spot on the ground now in line with his eye and the visor tip. He paced off the distance to this spot, made his reprot, and
earned a promotion. What postulate is this method based on? Mark the figure below to help you explain.
The soldier is presumed to stand at a
__________________________________degree angle to the ground,
forming one angle. The soldier’s height is constant forming the
side. The adjustment of the soldier’s cap forms the third angle.
When the soldier turns he is presumed to maintain his head
position perfectly. So we have two congruent triangles by
__________________________________. Since corresponding parts of
congruent triangles are congruent, the distance the soldier
paces on the ground is equal to the width of the river.
For items 17–30, prove the following statement on triangle congruence by completing its two-column proof.
Given: ̅̅̅̅
𝐴𝐸 ≅̅̅̅̅
