Based on the figure, which pair of triangles is congruent by the Side Angle Side Postulate? Triangle ABD and Triangle ECD Triangle ABC and Triangle ECD Triangle ABD and Triangle ADC Triangle ADC and Triangle ABC

@e.mccormick ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or @PeterPan

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Which parts do you know for a fact to be congruent?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

uhh ABD and ADC ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Triangle ABD or Angle ABD?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

triangle ABD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well no. They're not. At least, you can't say that with full confidence. There IS a pair of triangles which are congruent by SAS. You just have to find it ^.^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So it won't be ABD and ADC ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It won't. Because you don't have a pair of angles that you could say are definitely congruent.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ABD and ECD !? I think lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you have a pair of angles that are congruent in that pair of triangles?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes I think so

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Where?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

BD and CD ? or AD and ED ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah, those are asides, but you need the angles between those two pairs of sides to also be congruent, so that you can use SAS.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't see the angles tho

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well, you have to see congruent angles so that you can use SAS.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the answer wouldn't be ABD and ECD ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Maybe, maybe not, what do you think?^.^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You've already made one guess, see... I don't want to confirm or deny any more guesses. ^.^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Lol Idk :S I think so

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If you say so :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol so is that a yes ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Fml I can't get this wrong again
