Math help please:

Look at the figure shown below: RQ is a segment on which a perpendicular bisector PS is drawn. S is the midpoint of RQ. Which step should be used to prove that point P is equidistant from points R and Q? If any one side and any one common angle are equal in triangles PQR and PRS, then their corresponding sides are also equal. If two sides and one included angle are equal in triangles PQS and PRS, then their third sides are equal. In triangles PQR and PQS, if one side and one angle are equal, then their corresponding sides and angles are also equal. In triangles PRS and PQS, all three angles are equal.

If two sides and one included angle are equal in triangles PQS and PRS, then their third sides are equal. The reason is SAS , side angle side .

OpenStudy (civicsiscool44):

Ok

OpenStudy (natalief):

This proved that the two triangles are equivalent.

OpenStudy (civicsiscool44):

So D?

OpenStudy (natalief):

All three angles equal only proved that the two triangles are similar, their sides may be proportional only, but not equal .
