Question

in the diagram below, what needs to be labeled in order to prove triangle AHL and triangle EML are congruent by the SSS postulate

Answer 1

small dashes are the signs that tell u sides are congruent

Answer 2

AH and EM has one dash on them, so they are congruent

Answer 3

AL and LE have two dashes on them, so they are congruent

Answer 4

So, its given that two SIDES are congruent

Answer 5

to use SSS postulate, u need to prove all 3 SIDES are congruent, so what do you think ?

Answer 6

i have no idea.

Answer 7

its okay, since you're given 2 sides are congruent.
u need 1 more side to be congruent, to prove triangles are congruent by SSS

Answer 8

look at the given pic and tell me which sides dont have dashes on them

Answer 9

h and M

Answer 10

HL LM

Answer 11

very good :)

yes, so HL and LM needs to be labelled congruent in order to prove triangles are congruent by SSS postulate
