OpenStudy (ineedhelp10):

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

OpenStudy (ineedhelp10):

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

OpenStudy (nikato):

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^

OpenStudy (ineedhelp10):

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

OpenStudy (nikato):

No, it's actually SAS

OpenStudy (nikato):

Did u know there's a difference btw AAS and SAS
