pooja195 (pooja195):

which one do you think it is?

OpenStudy (kimberlyevens):

im not sure

OpenStudy (kimberlyevens):

@pooja195 are you there??

@DanJS

OpenStudy (danjs):

ya

OpenStudy (danjs):

congruent means, the same

OpenStudy (danjs):

triangle ABD is congruent to triangle CBD

OpenStudy (danjs):

The little tick mark on AB and BC means they are the same length AB = BC

OpenStudy (danjs):

They both share the same side BD and both have a right angle ABD and CBD

OpenStudy (danjs):

so they both have in order-- side-angle-side pats that are equal

OpenStudy (danjs):

Do you see that?

OpenStudy (kimberlyevens):

yeah

OpenStudy (danjs):

that's all it is asking for, Side angle side congruency postulate, the corresponding parts are side AB=BC angle ABD = CBD Side BD=BD

OpenStudy (danjs):

If you wanted to use the longer diagonals, you could prove those are also equal by the pythagorean theorem, AD = CD if you wanted to

OpenStudy (kimberlyevens):

thank you @DanJS
