Question

What is the correct congruency statement for the triangles shown?

ΔACB ≅ ΔFED

ΔBAC ≅ ΔDFE

ΔCAB ≅ ΔFDE

ΔCBA ≅ ΔEFD

Answer 1

Try mentally flipping the triangles. Which angle is colored in the picture?

Answer 2

@MathLegend D & A

Answer 3

Good, so now we know that in the statement first that D & A must match up. So that is only seen in the last two. So it out of the last two.

Answer 4

So now which two segments(Sides) have two hash marks?

Answer 5

@MathLegend Alright! And they're sides DF and AB

Answer 6

Good so now F & B must be lined up as well

Answer 7

So which one has D & A lined up then has F & B lined up in the congruent statement?

Answer 8

@MathLegend The last one?

Answer 9

Yup

Answer 10

@MathLegend Ohhh that makes it so much simpler! I understand, find what matches up in the picture and then see how they match up as answer choices. Thank you so much :)

Answer 11

No problem :)
