OpenStudy (scoobydo):

D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks and are you sure? @scoobydo

Directrix (directrix):

Option D is not SSS. There are only two pairs of congruent sides there. The answer is some other option.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i believe it's B

Directrix (directrix):

Option B is not correct for the same reason option D is not correct. That is- you do not have 3 pairs of congruent sides. Look at C. The two triangles share a side. By the reflexive property, that side is congruent to itself. That gives you 3 pairs of congruent sides and the triangle are congruent by SSS Postulate.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok Thanks for the correction, so is C the correct option then?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I see what you've explained.

Directrix (directrix):

It is. Suggestion: When helpers give a direct answer with no work, do not accept that answer without knowing why.

Thanks for the tip bud, you're Amazing.

Some people run around and drop wrong answers on purpose. Others think that they are dropping the correct answer but without an explanation, who knows what people are doing regarding answers.
