step by step how do i find the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you please help me step by step

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sir??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohh sry, i wasn't on for awile, but look @ ur givens, and u know that b/c of ur givens, it would be A b/c of Side Angle Side get it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not so much. can you explain a little more for me please?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How do you know the difference between SAS from ASA or SSS??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wouldnt it be asa

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ASA

OpenStudy (mertsj):

The problem says that <Y is congruent to <B. Does that give you an angle or a side?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Angle.

OpenStudy (mertsj):

The problem says that XY is congruent to AB. Does that give you an angle or a side?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

side.

OpenStudy (mertsj):

The problem says that YZ is congruent to BC. Does that give you an angle or a side?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

side

OpenStudy (mertsj):

So now you have what? 2 angles and a side? 2 sides and an angle or what?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2 sides and an angle

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Well then, I would say that eliminates B and C. Would you agree?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes i do.

OpenStudy (mertsj):

So then to choose between A and D we have to figure out if SAS applies and it will apply only is the angle is between the two sides. Is it?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

if

OpenStudy (anonymous):

SRY tht i wanst on, i was doing someting else:( @Mertsj thxs for tht
