ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

tell me why do you think it is SSS ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Because I didn't use any angles when solving it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Why would it be SAS?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

what do u knw about the sides QP and SR ?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Give me the complete proof for why do u think it is SSS

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That they're parallel?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

It is NOT SSS because we dont know anything about the third side pair : QP and SR

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry if it takes time for me to reply my computer is being very slow

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

to use SSS, you need to knw all the lengths of Sides

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh.

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

The correct answer is SAS because the angle \(\large T\) is common to both the triangles and so that angle pair is congruent by reflexive property

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok, now I get it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But what about 26?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

whats the question ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Which type of isometry is the equivalent of two reflections across intersecting lines? Glide reflection Rotation Reflection None of these

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

go thru that link^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Rotation.
