Question

Can you help me with these matching and also could someone explain this to me? I am lost.

Answer 1

1. If two angles and the included side of one triangle are equal to two angles and the included side of the other triangle, then the triangles are congruent.
2.If the hypotenuse and a leg of one right triangle are equal to the hypotenuse and leg of another right triangle, then the triangles are congruent.
3. If three sides of one triangle are equal to three sides of anther triangle, then the triangles are congruent.
4. If a leg and an acute angle of one right triangle are equal to the corresponding parts of another right triangle, then the triangles are congruent.
5.If two sides and the included angle of one triangle are equal to two sides and the included angle of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

ASA ; SSS; SAS; HL; LA

Answer 2

1. says if TWO angles.... (Which has two angles in it?) and the included side. (So look for two A's and one S) What do you have?

Answer 3

2. Talks about the Hypotenuse and a Leg... which has (a H and a L) Look for little keys

Answer 4

See if you can figure out 3...

Answer 5

would 3 be sss?

Answer 6

Yes.

Answer 7

So the last one by process of elimination...

Answer 8

The way to get better with geometry is to know your definitions. Look at the pictures... STUDY those defintions really good. Until you know them and you should be able to look at a picture and say oh... this is such and such.... If I were you I would also study the book... maybe look over things the night before. That is what I did so when a concept was explained in class I wasn't surprised.

Answer 9

Oh my gosh! Thank you so much! I kept reading it and reading it until you broke it down like that I didn't get it.
