Angle C = 15 degrees, side BC = 20, angle Z = 15 degrees, and side YZ = 20. What additional information would you need to prove that ΔABC≅ΔXYZ by SAS? Angle A is congruent to angle X. Angle B is congruent to angle Y. Side AB is congruent to side XY. Side AC is congruent to side XZ.

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

looks you're given one ANGLE and one SIDE in each triangle

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

to apply SAS, u need one more SIDE in each triangle eh ?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

SAS = SIDE-ANGLE-SIDE ^^ ^^ missing

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes i know that part

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

good :) having that knowledge u can strike off two options right away, wat wud be those ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

let me check plz

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

ha take ur time :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

to first ones a and b?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Correct ! we can strike off a and b cuz we dont need angles we're looking for the SIDE

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ya true because we ar missing the last side but now what?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Angle C = 15 degrees, side BC = 20 to apply SAS u need the SIDEs on either side of angle C : CB and CA

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

CB is already given, so missing is simply CA

OpenStudy (anonymous):

correct

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

we're done i guess :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it's D correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if not then i'm lost

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

D is \(\large \color{red}{\checkmark}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you for helping me understand rather than just giving me the answer cause i needed to know how to do it just in case i run into this problem in the future

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
