in triangle BAT and triangle CRE, angle A is congruent or equal to angle R and line BA is congruent or equal to line CR. what additional statement and method could be used to prove that the two triangles are congruent? HELP PLEASE

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

Two statements could be used. If angle B = angle C the two triangles are congruent by asa (angle side angle) If side AT = side RE the two triangles are congruent by sas (side angle side)

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

A little more explanation: If 2 triangles have 2 equal angles and an equal included side, the triangles are congruent. (asa) If 2 triangles have 2 equal sides and an equal included angle, the triangles are congruent. (sas)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the answer choices <B equal or congruent to <E by ASA line AT equal or congruent to line RE by SAS

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

Then the answer is line AT equal or congruent to line RE by SAS

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

It can't be " <B equal or congruent to <E by ASA " because angle E is NOT part of the included side - line RC>

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

ignore the ">" at the end of that posting

heres the other question line RL bisects line LP, line LR bisects line RT and M is the midpoint of line TP, which statement could be used to prove triangle TMR is equal to or congruent to triangle PML Answer choices: A: SAS congruent to equal to SAS\ B:AAS congruent to equal to AAS C. HL congruent to equal to HL D: SSS congruent to equal to SSS

and thanks !

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

Hmmmmmmmmm, time to draw another diagram.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

LOL yeah

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i honestly dont even get it ,my math teacher sucks >_<

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

I can't draw that. We have to prove triangle TMR is congruent to triangle PML. So that means there must be 2 triangles named TMR and PML (and they are drawn in the chart). Of course, if that is the case, how can we have these lines? "line RL bisects line LP, line LR bisects line RT"
