The discussion centers on solving for angles and sides in congruent triangles given certain known values. The user seeks to determine the values of b, d, G, and F, with the constraint that c + d equals 90 degrees. A response highlights the uncertainty in finding F due to a lack of constraints that would limit its length while keeping other values constant. Additionally, there is a request for clarification on which congruent triangles are being referenced. The conversation emphasizes the need for more information to solve the problem effectively.

I am trying to work out the above problem.
Known are: D,A,B,a,c,d. I need to work out b,d,G and F. Any ideas?

c+d = 90 degrees.

Regards,

Stan

Hi, and welcome to the forum!

A am not sure we can find F because I don't see any constraint that prevents one from making F longer while preserving D, A, B, a, c, and d.

Also, what congruent triangles do you mean in the thread title?
