Which of the following statements is true? (Triangle diagram below) The triangles are congruent by the SSS Congruence Postulate. The triangles are congruent by the ASA Congruence Postulate. The triangles are congruent by the AAS Congruence Theorem. The triangles are congruent by the SAS Congruence Postulate.
they give you three facts. how many of these facts are about sides and how many are about angles?
Only one mentions only sides, the rest mention angles as well @Austin6i6
so two angles and one side
so the triangles are congruent by ...
Is the side between the angles you know? Or is it outside of the two angles?
Outside I believe, that was where I was tripping up. So AAS? ASA is what was making me think twice.
ASA would mean that the side is between the angles, like this:|dw:1427917799433:dw|
Ooooor no It goes B, BC, A. So A S A
Ooops, I drew SAS.
ASA would looks like: |dw:1427917904373:dw|
