small dashes are the signs that tell u sides are congruent
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
AH and EM has one dash on them, so they are congruent
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
AL and LE have two dashes on them, so they are congruent
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
So, its given that two SIDES are congruent

to use SSS postulate, u need to prove all 3 SIDES are congruent, so what do you think ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i have no idea.
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
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
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
look at the given pic and tell me which sides dont have dashes on them
OpenStudy (anonymous):
h and M
