I really need help with this!!! Brenda used a compass and found that side YZ is congruent to side BC and that the measure of angle XZY is the same as the measure of angle ACB in the triangles shown below. Using complete sentences, describe the next steps required to prove that triangle XYZ is congruent to triangle ABC.

can you see it?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

yes thank you :) so you have a Side and Angle of one triangle equal to Side and Angle in another triangle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok, how would i go from there, this is my worst subject!

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

its okay, you heard of SAS postulate eh ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes
