Question

please help somebody?
Which postulate can be used to prove that the triangles are congruent?

A. not congruent
B. SSA
C. HL
D. SAS

Answer 1

We need a picture of the triangles or else this is an impossible question to answer truthfully.

Answer 2

Or more information on the triangles such as the points and information on the points.

Answer 3

sorry my bad though i posted the pic ha

Answer 4

Well look at the figure... are there any shared sides?

Answer 5

yes

Answer 6

So what postulate can you use? If they're sharing a side... isn't that side congruent?

Answer 7

the shared side could be thought upon as what? you have two congruent sides and a right angle.

Answer 8

D right?

Answer 9

Well remember that SAS has to have the included angle. But yes that is your answer

@iluvlucy good job on your explanation, better than what mine was.

Answer 10

yes

Answer 11

Good teamwork everybody!

Answer 12

thanks guys!

Answer 13

No problem

Answer 14

Yep!

Answer 15

I have another question quick if u guys dont mind?
Which theorem or postulate would be used to prove the two triangles congruent?

Answer 16

Remember, you has two sides that say they are congruent and one side. The most common postulates are SAS, SSS, retrice and ASA.

Answer 17

I think that it could be ASA

Answer 18

Good job, as I said before, remember that all of your ASA, and SAS need to be the included angle and the included side. Do you know what this means?

Answer 19

not really ;p

Answer 20

It means that your angle or side, needs to be inbetween the other two parts. So if your using SAS and the angle needs to be the included angle, then both the sides need to be touching the angle.
