Question

What theorem or postulate can be used to justify that the two triangles are congruent? Write the congruence statement.

Answer 1

A.SAS
B.ASA
C.SAS
D.ASA

Answer 2

Now, we have one common side, and two equal angles.
So by the definition of rectangle and ASA i can say that those two triangles are congruent.

Answer 3

ASA? so its either B or D now.

Answer 4

its two triangles. i dont think its a rectangle. o:

Answer 5

oh, okay.
Do we have any equal sides or angles?

Answer 6

equal sides yes... im not sure about angles

Answer 7

HI and Fg are equal?

Answer 8

yes!

Answer 9

those are sides right? and not angles? I get them mixed up a lot.. :/

Answer 10

oh, okay, now...
The triangles are positios are that way.
we know that <FHG is congruent to <IGH
and we know that those two triangles share a side HG.
and FG is equal to HI.
By SAS we can deduce that the triangles are congruent.

Answer 11

My problem says this..
A. SAS triangle HGF= triangle IGH.
B.
C. SAS triangel FGH= triangle IHG.
Which one would be correct?

Answer 12

it would be the same, but depends on how you read them.
Traditionally, C would be correct.

Answer 13

Ok. thanks. :)
