In addition to the facts in the diagram, which other statements are necessary to prove that ABC is congruent to EFG by the ASA criterion?

anonymous · Answer

1) mB = mF
    2)BC = FG
    3)mA = mE
    4)FG = 3
   5) mB = mE

What does ASA stand for?

anonymous · Answer

@mathstudent55 angle side angle?

mathstudent55 · Answer

Correct.
That means if in one triangle, an angle, a side, and another angle, in that order, are congruent to the corresponding parts of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

mathstudent55 · Answer

You just need one side of one triangle and one side of the other triangle.
Do you see in the figure, one side of one triangle congruent to one side of the other triangle?

@mathstudent55 so it would be 1 and 3?

By the way thank you so much because you are helping me

mathstudent55 · Answer

Correct.
Sides AB and FE are congruent because they both measure 2.
Now you need the two angles that enclose each side.
