Question

emily built a rectangular flower garden in her backyard. she wants to build a second, congruent flower garden next to the first.

what is the length of \\(\overline{rs}\\)?

\\(\bigcirc\\) a. \\(3\\) ft
\\(\bigcirc\\) b. \\(6\\) ft
\\(\bigcirc\\) c. \\(9\\) ft
\\(\bigcirc\\) d. \\(18\\) ft

Explanation:

Step1: Recall congruent rectangles property

Congruent rectangles have identical side lengths.

Step2: Match corresponding sides

In Garden 1, $\overline{DC} = 6$ ft. $\overline{RS}$ corresponds to $\overline{DC}$, so $\overline{RS} = \overline{DC}$.

Answer:

B. 6 ft
