Question

Which two triangles are congruent by SSS?

Answer 1

so the SSS is the SIDE-SIDE-SIDE.
so then triangles IJL and KJL are congruent by SSS.
-since side JI is congruent to side JK.
-also since side IL IS congruent to side MK
- side JL is also congruent to side JM.

Answer 2

do you agree?

Answer 3

yes, thanks!

Answer 4

your welcome :)

Answer 5

I chose the second option. Tri IMJ ≅ Tri KLJ

Answer 6

oh really? @Directrix ? why?

Answer 7

IM = KL, MJ = LJ, and IJ = KJ

Answer 8

Those are corresponding congruent sides of congruent triangles
Tri IMJ ≅ Tri KLJ.

Answer 9

yeah that makes sense :)

Answer 10

In triangles IJL and KJL, the corresponding sides that would have to be congruent are IJ=KJ, IL = KL, and JL = JL. It is that JL=JL that I think doesn't work out to make these two triangles congruent. But, let's check. I could be wrong.

@Megan_xoxo
Could all of us re-visit this question. I got a different answer. I am not saying I am correct but could we take a second look?
