Write a congruence statement for the pair of triangles.
@phi !?
@robtobey
Can you help me @triciaal??
Triangle ZBY = Triangle ORW
what is SSS AND SAS?
do you mean like ZB = OR BY = RW ZY= OW SSS = side side side SAS = side angle side
You don't need sss and sas for congruence statements. you just need to relate the sides of the triangles to show they are congruent to each other.
The answers available on the worksheet. Are written like ZYB = OWR by SAS, ZYB = WOR by SSS, ect.
The letters are in different orders with either SSS or SAS written next to them.
Oh, simple trig then. using the sides find the angles I guess, then compare angles from one triangle to the angles of the other.
look at each triangle and match them up exactly to name the sides correctly
" if three sides of one triangle are congruent to three sides of a second triangle , then the two triangles are congruent."
that is the side-side-side (sss) congruence Postulate
So this one would SSS?
Postulate 20 if two sides and the included angle of one triangle are congruent to the two sides and the included angle of a second triangle, then the two triangles are congruent
I think this would be SSS because that's what you were given ( the units to compare) name correctly is important here
How do I know what order the letters should come in? @triciaal
start with any one and find the corresponding measurement on the second example when I named the sides above ZB = OR not ZB = OW or ZB = RW
