I know that I can eliminate A and D because they don't follow the rules of either. How can I determine if the answer is C or B?

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

If two triangles are congruent, their corresponding angles are congruent. Is the above premise true?

OpenStudy (narissa):

yes

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

What about the second premise?

OpenStudy (narissa):

Yes, its true

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Then if the premises are true, it cannot be B.

OpenStudy (narissa):

C thank you so much!

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Congruent triangles must have congruent corresponding angles. Similar triangles also have congruent corresponding angles. The triangles are not congruent, but the corresponding angles may still be congruent because the triangles are similar.
