Which postulate can be used to prove triangle JLK and triangle MLK are congruent if JK and LM are congruent and parrallel. Answers: AAS SSS SSA SAS

OpenStudy (aravindg):

SSS could work

OpenStudy (aravindg):

This is a parallelogram

OpenStudy (rajee_sam):

SAS

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

hint :- Two Sides are congruent already, one by reflexive property, and another is given.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think its SSS

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

SSS is incorrect here

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

look at rajee diagram, he has it correct :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I see the diagram helped explain better its SAS

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks

OpenStudy (aravindg):

|dw:1369977243583:dw| why not SSS ?

OpenStudy (rajee_sam):

looks right to me but can you have two answers? in a multiple choice question

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

its not SSS cuz LJ \(\cong\) MK is not either given or directly obvious here. Once a triangle is provben congruent using one theorem, all other theorems will work.

OpenStudy (rajee_sam):

but they have given JK and LM are parallel and congruent . Doesn't that automatically makes JL and MK congruent
