Suppose △ABC≅△EFG△. Which congruency statement is true? ∠BAC≅∠FEG AC¯¯¯¯¯≅FG¯¯¯¯¯ ∠CBA≅∠GEF AB¯¯¯¯¯≅EG¯¯¯¯¯

OpenStudy (texmechanica):

For the ones with the lines. Those are supposed to be above the letters.

OpenStudy (3mar):

May I help?

OpenStudy (texmechanica):

Yes please

OpenStudy (3mar):

Thank you.

OpenStudy (3mar):

Are these triangles congruent? △ABC≅△EFG

OpenStudy (texmechanica):

Yes, hence the equal to or greater than sign

OpenStudy (3mar):

This results in what? (related to sides, not angles?

OpenStudy (texmechanica):

Well, I am not sure.

OpenStudy (texmechanica):

They're congruent in their sides I suppose

OpenStudy (3mar):

the corresponding sides are congruent also. Am I right?

OpenStudy (texmechanica):

Yes

OpenStudy (3mar):

Great! can you list these corresponding congruent sides for me?

OpenStudy (texmechanica):

A and E B and F C and G

OpenStudy (3mar):

sides not angles

OpenStudy (texmechanica):

Oh....I think I'm lost.

OpenStudy (3mar):

do you know the difference between a side and an angle?

OpenStudy (3mar):

@TexMechanica

OpenStudy (texmechanica):

Yes, an angle is when two lines meet to form a point and a side is one of the lines.

OpenStudy (3mar):

great! side's name is two letters (usually the start point and the end point) and angle's name is just the vertex letter of three sometimes.

OpenStudy (texmechanica):

Oh alright so one side is AB

OpenStudy (texmechanica):

Right?

OpenStudy (3mar):

Yes right

OpenStudy (texmechanica):

I think I got it, it's B.

OpenStudy (3mar):

Look! corresponding means that |dw:1477326836499:dw|
