TRIANGLE HELP

Answer 1

Which parts of one triangle are congruent to corresponding parts of the other triangle?

Answer 2

anything wrong with posting .gif or jpeg files?

Answer 3

I don't know how to post those @jdoe0001

Answer 4

just take a screenshot of the material, and paste it in PAINT or some graphic app, save and [Attach File] here

Answer 5

is quicker and concise, then reading 10 pages in a .doc

Answer 6

@jdoe0001

Answer 7

yeap

Answer 8

Now that the technical aspect is over, are you still interested in working this out?

Answer 9

The triangles are congruent because they are acute angles right @mathstudent55

Answer 10

I can see 2 pair of sides equal there, the diagonal is being shared by both, thus equal to both

Answer 11

No.
There are specific ways of proving two triangles congruent.
They are asking which one can be used in this case.

Answer 12

congruent means the same right ? @mathstudent55

Answer 13

congruent means same size

Answer 14

in the picture looks like they are both the same size . but in this case we are trying to prove which one to use correctly @mathstudent55

Answer 15

Yes. Which of those methods can you use to prove the two triangles congruent?
The choices are:
A. Not congruent
B. SSA = side - side - angle
C. HL = hypotenuse - leg
D. ASA = angle - side - angle

Answer 16

i think it would be D @mathstudent55

Answer 17

For ASA, you need to show that an angle, a side and an angle of 1 triangle are congruent to the same parts of the other triangle.
I see a side and an angle, but I don't see another angle being congruent.

Answer 18

SSA, because we want to see if they are congruent so we chech the sides and the two angles that are there @mathstudent55

Answer 19

The problem is that SSA is not a method. It's a choice only to trick you. The only two choices that are real methods of proving triangles congruent are ASA and HL. It's not ASA.
