Question

To prove triangleVXY is congruent to triangleVWZ by SSS, what additional congruency would be necessary?
Triangle XYV and triangle WZV where points X, V, and W are collinear. Sides YV and ZV are congruent. Sides XV and WV are congruent.
A. angleY is congruent to angleZ
B. XW is congruent to WX
C. XY is congruent to WZ
D. angleXVY is congruent to angleWVZ

Answer 1

Two lines are congruent, and they share a common angle, You would need to know Y and Z.

Answer 2

i need a little more than that

Answer 3

SSS = side side side

you have 2 sides already known to be congruent (shown by the tick marks)

Answer 4

what's missing is that third side

Answer 5

so what do you think the answer is based on this

Answer 6

V is the midpoint of X and W. At V, they share a common angle, therefore WV and XV are equal in length. YV and ZV are congruent. You already have two sides, as well as an angle, therefore, the third side is automatically congruent. If XY and WZ are congruent, it is congruent by SSS. (Which we know they are.)

Answer 7

@GirlByte have you answered to the question i sent chew few mins ago???

Answer 8

Yes. did u get it

Answer 9

btw @micahcarr76 do you know what is mising on the thrid side

Answer 10

could someone just tell me the answer im in a hurry

Answer 11

nope :(
i'm new here, i have no idea where to look for the reply

Answer 12

xy= wz is the additional congruency that would be necessary

Answer 13

answer : C
