In triangles ABC and LMN, ∠A ≅ ∠L, ∠B ≅ ∠M, and ∠C ≅ ∠N. Is this information sufficient to prove triangles ABC and LMN congruent through ASA? Explain your answer.

yaaa someone is typing!

Extrinix:

\(\angle A = \angle L \\ \angle B = \angle M \\ \angle C = \angle N\) This would not be sufficient enough to prove congruency through ASA. To prove it in ASA, you would need an an angle, a side, and another angle, this doesn’t involve a side though, meaning it can’t be solved because of the missing side measurement.

quick question

jonahneedshelp2121:

also

jonahneedshelp2121:

let me know what you think of this as a answer

jonahneedshelp2121:

No. You are only given that all 3 angles are congruent; although this means the triangles are similar it is not guaranteed that the triangles are congruent -- besides, you can't prove it with ASA.

That would work
