Question

Decide whether you ca deduce by the SSS, SAS, or ASA Posutlate that another triangle is congruent to triangleABC. If so, write the congruence and name the postulate used. If not, write no congruence can be deduced. a picture will be provided

Answer 1

consider triangles ABC and AFC
AB = AF (given)
AF is common to both triangles
BC = FC ( because ABCF is a rhombus - AF is parallel to BC and AB = AF)

so triangles ABC and AFC are congruent by SSS

Answer 2

i don't understand

Answer 3

you do know the triangles represent parallelism right?

Answer 4

those little arrow things

Answer 5

that's what i mean

Answer 6

well its a special type of parallelogram - a rhombus which has 2 pairs of parallel sides and all sides equal. all 3 sides of 2 triangles are equal so postulate is SSS

Answer 7

there is only one pair of parallel lines

Answer 8

since it isn't given that there are two
you can't assume

Answer 9

it's actually the definition of a rhombus that there are 2 pairs of parallel sides and all sides are equal..that is if that is a rhombus...but it seems the drawing is not to scale

Answer 10

so the answer would be......
