Geometry--HELP!

alex, i am not sure but i think both ASA and SAS can be used.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

WZ is the same side for both. angle vwz= angle zwy as given that wz line bisects VWY AS angle V= angle Y, Tringle VWY is isosceles and sides VW=WY. this is enough for SAS. But, we got angle V= angle Y as well; turning ASA plausible as well.

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

AAS strikes first cuz we're given two pairs of angles congruent and a pair of congruent sides. <V = <Y <VWZ = <YWZ VZ = ZY

how do u know vz= zy?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

oops ! my mistake ive read the question as wz bisects vy :| sorry let me think again :}

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

here :- AAS strikes first cuz we're given two pairs of angles congruent and a pair of congruent sides. <V = <Y <VWZ = <YWZ WZ = WZ

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

still AAS comes first

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But the answer is a. AAS because ANGLE v= ANGLE y ANGLE vwz=zwy wz=wz, same side AND BY AAS postulate, two angles and non included side are equal in two trinagles, they are congruent. alex, sorry for not figuring tis out. thanks ganesh

ganeshie8, agree?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

yess looks very good :)
