Given: VI is congruent to HI
Prove: Triangle VIJ is congruent to Triangle HIJ
OpenStudy (nikato):
So u have <VIJ=<HIJ
And VI=HI
OpenStudy (nikato):
What else can u say based on the diagram to prove the 2 triangles are congruent with either SSS, ASA,SAS,AAS, or HL
OpenStudy (ineedhelp10):
Yeah I know that VI=HI is given

I think they're not congruent
OpenStudy (nikato):
They r gonna be congruent, becuz that's what u r trying to prove
OpenStudy (nikato):
Ok then, what can u say about JI
OpenStudy (ineedhelp10):
but sometimes my teacher puts problems that are not congruent and kinds tricks us so i dont know
OpenStudy (ineedhelp10):
JI is congruent to IJ because of reflexive property

Well, that's a terrible teacher. Then what's the point of proving
OpenStudy (nikato):
And yes now u have
iJ=JI
vI=HI
<VIJ=<HIJ
OpenStudy (nikato):
So which postulate would u use to prove the 2 triangles r congruent
OpenStudy (ineedhelp10):
umm i'll say ASA
OpenStudy (nikato):
Do u see 2 pair of angles and a pair of side congruent^

no i dont
OpenStudy (ineedhelp10):
is it retrice
OpenStudy (ineedhelp10):
******retrice
OpenStudy (nikato):
So what would it be even u saw 2 pairs of sides congruent and a pair of angle
OpenStudy (ineedhelp10):
ugh it wont show. I mean A S S

No, it's actually SAS
OpenStudy (nikato):
Did u know there's a difference btw AAS and SAS
