1. Set up the equation for congruent segments:

If segments and are congruent, then the length of (which is ) is equal to the length of (which is ). So, we set up the equation .

2. Solve the equation for :

Add to both sides of the equation:

.

This simplifies to .

Divide both sides by 9:

, so .

3. Find the lengths of
