Question

question determine the relationship between the two triangles and whether or not they can be proven to be congruent. answer attempt 2 out of 2 the two triangles are related by side - side - angle (ssa), so the triangles can be proven congruent.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall congruence postulates

SSA (Side - Side - Angle) is not a valid congruence postulate for proving triangle congruence in general. There are cases where two triangles with SSA correspondence are non - congruent. The valid congruence postulates are SSS (Side - Side - Side), SAS (Side - Angle - Side), ASA (Angle - Side - Angle), AAS (Angle - Angle - Side) and HL (Hypotenuse - Leg for right - triangles).

Answer:

The two triangles are related by Side - Side - Angle (SSA), so the triangles cannot be proven congruent.
