OpenStudy (aravindg):

Okay. Can you tell me which all angles and sides are same for both?

OpenStudy (nicoleg7):

im confused on what your asking for

OpenStudy (aravindg):

First;y, can you clearly see the 2 triangles mentioned in the question in your figure?

OpenStudy (nicoleg7):

uhm i guess

OpenStudy (aravindg):

Now do you see any side common to both of them?

OpenStudy (nicoleg7):

DB I think

OpenStudy (aravindg):

Think again. Look at it carefully.

OpenStudy (nicoleg7):

I think that it is DB since it is the side that's connecting both triangles, idk uhm BC and BD

OpenStudy (aravindg):

|dw:1450714966969:dw|

OpenStudy (aravindg):

Do you see BD in both?

OpenStudy (nicoleg7):

oh ok so its A or AB

OpenStudy (aravindg):

A is just a vertex. AB is a side. Yes you are right-AB is the answer.

OpenStudy (aravindg):

Now find an angle common to both.

OpenStudy (nicoleg7):

angle B and angle C

OpenStudy (nicoleg7):

@AravindG was I right
