OpenStudy (welshfella):

A. All we know is that B is midpoint of AC. Is that enough to prove the triangles are congruent?

OpenStudy (bluetigress120):

No, I don't think that is enough to prove the triangles are congruent

OpenStudy (bluetigress120):

AB is congruent to BC because of the definition of a midpoint BD is congruent to BD because of the reflexive property

OpenStudy (bluetigress120):

you would have to prove that angle CBD and angle ABD are congruent... It would have to be a given point that it's perpendicular Which it's not, so you no, you cannot prove they're congruent with SAS
