Question

I need help with sas sss asa aas and hl... I know what they are but when it comes to solving a problem on my homework I cant get the answers right... could some one help me with some of the problems until I can do it on my own? you would be a huge help. il give medals!

Answer 1

It seems you left out s-s-a but go ahead and ask those questions.

Answer 2

lol thanks ok one moment

Answer 3

GIVEN; line QR is congruent to line ST, triangle QTS and triangle SRQ are right trangles. name the postulate or theorem you can use to prove triangle QTS is congruent to triangle SRQ

Answer 4

A) SSS postulate
B) SAS postulate...I think its this one
C)ASA postulate
D) HL

Answer 5

Yes I'd say it is side angle side
QR = ST (given)
QS = QS
Angle RQS = Angle QST
(Opposite angles in parallel lines are equal.)
There you have 2 sides and the included angle equaling each other and so the triangles are congruent.

Answer 6

ughh geometry

it could also be HL since they are right triangles

Answer 7

dumbcow - what is HL?

Answer 8

special postulate only for right triangles which says that if the hypotenuse and 1 leg are congruent then triangles are congruent

Answer 9

basically its same as SSS, since the 2nd leg can be shown to be congruent via pythagorean thm

Answer 10

>.< im so confused!

Answer 11

Yes QT equals RS by Pythagorean Theorem and so s-s-s can also be used.
Since angle RQS equals QST and the right angles equal each other
and QR = ST we can use a-s-a with the right angles as included angles

Answer 12

GParsley I'd say just go by my first reply. (The other answers were done just to show that the solution could be found in many ways.)

Answer 13

haha yeah we could apply all of those postulates to these triangles

but knowing math textbooks...since they gave 2 right triangles and explicitly showed that 1 leg is equal and they share hypotenuse
go with HL

Answer 14

SAS
