Which value of $x$x makes $\triangle KLM$KLM congruent to $\triangle RST$RST?

Two triangles, $\triangle KLM$KLM and $\triangle RST$RST, have their vertices and side lengths labeled. The $\triangle KLM$KLM has its vertices labeled as $K$K, $L$L, and $M$M. The side $KL$KL is marked with two tick marks and is opposite $\angle LMK$LMK. The side $LM$LM is labeled $x$x and is opposite $\angle MKL$MKL. The side $MK$MK is marked with a single tick mark and is opposite $\angle KLM$KLM. The $\angle KLM$KLM is marked with a blue arc. The $\triangle RST$RST has its vertices labeled as $R$R, $S$S, and $T$T. The side $RS$RS is marked with two tick marks with label of $9$9 and is opposite $\angle STR$STR. The side $ST$ST is labeled $8$8 and is opposite $\angle TRS$TRS. The side $TR$TR is labeled $6$6 and is opposite $\angle RST$RST. The $\angle RST$RST is marked with a blue arc.

Outcomes

G.TR.2

The student will, given information in the form of a figure or statement, prove and justify two triangles are congruent using direct and indirect proofs, and solve problems involving measured attributes of congruent triangles.

G.TR.2a

Use definitions, postulates, and theorems (including Side-Side-Side (SSS); Side-Angle-Side (SAS); Angle-Side-Angle (ASA); Angle-Angle-Side (AAS); and Hypotenuse-Leg (HL)) to prove and justify two triangles are congruent.

G.TR.2b

Use algebraic methods to prove that two triangles are congruent.

G.TR.2d

Given a triangle, use congruent segment, congruent angle, and/or perpendicular line constructions to create a congruent triangle (SSS, SAS, ASA, AAS, and HL).
