do you have ide,opinion for it ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

All I know is that it is not SAS

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

do you can tell me why ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

like for the first step i think you see it easy that angle M is common so this mean that an angle need being in this postulate sure yes ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't understand what you are saying.

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

check the triangles names PMR and NMO angle M is common so this mean that an angle need being included in this postulate so for exemple SAS or AAS or AAA ... ok ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it AAS

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

not i see that because PR parallel NO what mean this ? so that angle P congruent angle N and angle R congruent angle O ...so from this and using my first answer what have wrote above that angle M is common angle so i think that this postulate will be AAA

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

from these choises i think is right C.

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

so do you understand it why ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes I see now

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

ok yw was my pleasure good luck
