Need help with 2 questions ASA and AAS

@ganeshie8 I'm not sure if these are right

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

look at the small triangles on either side

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

each have a side of length "7", eh ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

also each triangle has a side marked with "1 dash"

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

that means those sides are also equal

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So corresponding?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

yes, first observe that both triangles have ALL 3 corresponding sides equal

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ya i saw ABC = AED

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

then u can justify ur answer like below :- since both \(AB\) and \(AE\) have same length of \(7\), \(AB \equiv AE\). since both \(AC\) and \(AD\) have same number of dashes(1 dash), \(AC \equiv AD\). since both \(BC\) and \(ED\) have same number of dashes(2 dash), \(BC \equiv ED\). thus, the both triangles \(\triangle ABC\) and \(\triangle AED\) are congruent by \(SSS\) congruence postulate

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Would it SSA since A is adjacent

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

since we have all 3 corresponding sides congruent, its \(SSS\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Alright I what you're saying

OpenStudy (anonymous):

some of my words are cutting out. what about #10?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do I label it like PQ = TS

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

you're given both triangles are congruent, and asked to list corresponding sides

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Yes :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

alright thanks
