Answer 1

@jim_thompson5910 @begzat

Answer 2

what did you get for # 7?

Answer 3

I think it might be SSS, but I'm not sure @jim_thompson5910

Answer 4

well you have 2 sides, but the third side pairing isn't given

Answer 5

instead you have 2 sides and an angle in between them

Answer 6

which is why it's SAS

Answer 7

Oh! Would the other one be not possible because it doesn't really give you anything?

Answer 8

no it's possible, maybe it's not as obvious as #7 though

Answer 9

Wait no, I think it's AA

Answer 10

yep

Answer 11

you have a pair of vertical angles (which are congruent)

and one pair of alternate interior angles (which are congruent)
