Nope, try again.

Answer 6

Look at what is given to you.

Answer 7

SAS? I thought you cant use it to prove triangles are congruent

Answer 8

@RH There is 2 versions of SAS. One is that if two triangles have the 2 congruent sides and 1 congruent angle, then the two triangles are congruent. That's SAS for congruence.

SAS for similarity is when two triangles share an equal angle at the corresponding position and the two sides containing this angle are in proportion, then the triangles are similar.

Here, SAS for congruence can be used. This is because we know that JL = HK, JK = JK, by the reflexive property and we have an angle given to us. So two sides, 1 angle: triangles are congruent by SAS.

Thanks a lot!
