What else must you know to prove the triangles congruent by SAS?

OpenStudy (freethinker):

SIDE angle SIDE what do you think?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

have a good look at pic, do u see any angles/sides given as congruent ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah. But how would i write that down @ganeshie8

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

good question :) u could have simply said that : I see two triangles : \(\triangle ACD\) and \(\triangle CAB\), in which one ANGLE pair is congruent, and one side AC is common.

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

so we have one ANGLE pair and one SIDE pair congruent between the two triangles.

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

for SAS you need another SIDE pair, which sides they wud be ? :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the same side pairs are AC and CA? @ganeshie8

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

yes those are the same side pairs. we need to find another pair

OpenStudy (anonymous):

could it be DC and BA?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or AD and CB
