Answer
1. **Illustrate the Two Triangles:**
- Draw \( \triangle A R T \) with angles \( 53^\circ \), \( 54^\circ \), and \( 73^\circ \), and sides \( AT = 10 \) cm, \( RT = 20 \) cm, and \( AR = 15 \) cm.
- Draw \( \triangle H O P \) with corresponding angles and sides: \( \angle H = 53^\circ \), \( \angle O = 54^\circ \), \( \angle P = 73^\circ \), \( HO = 15 \) cm, \( OP = 20 \) cm, and \( HP = 10 \) cm.
2. **Angles in \( \triangle H O P \):**
- \( \angle H = 53^\circ \)
- \( \angle O = 54^\circ \)
- \( \angle P = 73^\circ \)
3. **Identify Corresponding Sides:**
- \( HO = 15 \) cm corresponds to \( AR = 15 \) cm
- \( AT = 10 \) cm corresponds to \( HP = 10 \) cm
- \( OP = 20 \) cm corresponds to \( RT = 20 \) cm
4. **Find \( x \):**
- Given \( OP = 11x - 13 \) cm and \( OP = 20 \) cm
- Solve: \( 11x - 13 = 20 \) → \( x = 3 \)
5. **Shortest Side of \( \triangle A R T \):**
- The shortest side is \( AT = 10 \) cm
Solution
Certainly! Let's address each part of the problem step by step.

### **Given:**
- **Triangles:** \( \triangle A R T \) is congruent to \( \triangle H O P \) (i.e., \( \triangle A R T \cong \triangle H O P \))
- **Angles in \( \triangle A R T \):**
- \( m \angle R = 54^\circ \)
- \( m \angle T = 73^\circ \)
- Therefore, \( m \angle A = 180^\circ - 54^\circ - 73^\circ = 53^\circ \)
- **Sides:**
- \( HO = 15 \) cm
- \( AT = 10 \) cm
- \( RT = 20 \) cm (given in part 4)
---
### **1. Illustrate the Two Triangles**
Since I can't provide a visual diagram, I'll describe how the two congruent triangles \( \triangle A R T \) and \( \triangle H O P \) correspond to each other.
**Triangle \( \triangle A R T \):**
- **Vertices:** A, R, T
- **Angles:**
- \( \angle A = 53^\circ \)
- \( \angle R = 54^\circ \)
- \( \angle T = 73^\circ \)
- **Sides:**
- \( AT = 10 \) cm
- \( RT = 20 \) cm
- \( AR = \) (to be determined)
**Triangle \( \triangle H O P \):**
- **Vertices:** H, O, P
- **Angles:**
- \( \angle H = 53^\circ \) (corresponding to \( \angle A \))
- \( \angle O = 54^\circ \) (corresponding to \( \angle R \))
- \( \angle P = 73^\circ \) (corresponding to \( \angle T \))
- **Sides:**
- \( HO = 15 \) cm (corresponding to \( AR \))
- \( OP = 20 \) cm (corresponding to \( RT \))
- \( HP = 10 \) cm (corresponding to \( AT \))
**Correspondence Summary:**
| \( \triangle A R T \) | \( \triangle H O P \) |
|----------------------|----------------------|
| Vertex A | Vertex H |
| Vertex R | Vertex O |
| Vertex T | Vertex P |
| Side AT = 10 cm | Side HP = 10 cm |
| Side RT = 20 cm | Side OP = 20 cm |
| Side AR = 15 cm | Side HO = 15 cm |

### **2. Determine the Measures of the Angles in \( \triangle H O P \)**
Since \( \triangle A R T \cong \triangle H O P \), corresponding angles are equal.
- \( \angle H \) corresponds to \( \angle A \): \( m \angle H = 53^\circ \)
- \( \angle O \) corresponds to \( \angle R \): \( m \angle O = 54^\circ \)
- \( \angle P \) corresponds to \( \angle T \): \( m \angle P = 73^\circ \)
**Answer:**
- \( \angle H = 53^\circ \)
- \( \angle O = 54^\circ \)
- \( \angle P = 73^\circ \)
---
### **3. Identify the Sides with Measures Equal to \( HO \) and \( AT \)**
Given the congruence \( \triangle A R T \cong \triangle H O P \), corresponding sides are equal.
- **Side \( HO = 15 \) cm** corresponds to **Side \( AR = 15 \) cm**.
- **Side \( AT = 10 \) cm** corresponds to **Side \( HP = 10 \) cm**.
**Summary:**
- \( HO \) corresponds to \( AR \)
- \( AT \) corresponds to \( HP \)
---
### **4. Find the Value of \( x \) Given \( OP = 11x - 13 \) cm**
Given:
- \( RT = 20 \) cm in \( \triangle A R T \)
- Since \( \triangle A R T \cong \triangle H O P \), the corresponding side \( OP \) in \( \triangle H O P \) is also \( 20 \) cm.
Set up the equation:
\[ OP = 11x - 13 \]
\[ 20 = 11x - 13 \]
**Solve for \( x \):**
\[
\begin{align*}
20 &= 11x - 13 \\
20 + 13 &= 11x \\
33 &= 11x \\
x &= \frac{33}{11} \\
x &= 3
\end{align*}
\]
**Answer:** \( x = 3 \)

### **5. Determine the Shortest Side of \( \triangle A R T F \)**
There seems to be a typo in the question since \( \triangle A R T F \) suggests a quadrilateral rather than a triangle. However, assuming it's meant to be \( \triangle A R T \), we'll determine the shortest side of \( \triangle A R T \).
**Given:**
- \( AT = 10 \) cm
- \( RT = 20 \) cm
- \( AR = 15 \) cm (from part 3)
**Side Lengths:**
- \( AT = 10 \) cm
- \( AR = 15 \) cm
- \( RT = 20 \) cm
**Shortest Side:** \( AT = 10 \) cm
**Answer:** The shortest side of \( \triangle A R T \) is \( AT \), which measures **10 cm**.

If the mention of \( \triangle A R T F \) was intentional and refers to a different figure or if "F" represents another point forming a different triangle, please provide additional information or clarify the context so I can assist you accurately.
