Question

I definitly dont know this one...
The figure below shows two triangles that were constructed using a compass and straightedge.

Answer 1

Ryan used the SSS postulate to prove that triangle ABC is congruent to triangle DEF.



Which of these steps would Ryan have likely performed to prove that the two triangles are congruent by the SSS postulate?

Answer 2

It says "Which of these steps", which means there is a list of steps to choose from. The only way any of us can help you is by posting those list of steps.

Answer 3

what he said.
but SSS is side side side so probably you need to prove
AB=DE, AC=DF, BC=EF

Answer 4

yeah ,,, u should give option.for it

Answer 5

Place the compass on A and set the width to side AC. Without changing the width place the compass on C and draw an arc that crosses CA at B.

Place the compass on A and set the width to side AC. Without changing the width place the compass on D and draw an arc that crosses DF at F.

Place the compass on A and draw an arc to cut side AC at X and side AB at Y. Place the compass on X and set the width of the compass to segment XY.

Place the compass on A and draw an arc to cross side AC at X and side AB at Y. Without changing the width draw a similar arc from point D.

Answer 6

from the above steps you can tell AC=DF and so on since the width of the compass was unchanged while constructing the respective side.
DF was drawn with the same width as AC.
DE was drawn with the same width as AB.
EF was drawn with the same width as BC.
