Question

determine if the two triangles are necessarily congruent. if so, fill in a flowchart proof to prove that they are. the triangles are - necessarily congruent. for each of the first three boxes, choose a statement format from the dropdown menu. you will then be able to change the letters to match the diagram for this problem.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify congruence criteria

We need to check if the given side - side - side (SSS), side - angle - side (SAS), angle - side - angle (ASA), angle - angle - side (AAS) or hypotenuse - leg (HL) criteria are met.

Step2: Analyze the diagram

From the diagram, we see that we have two pairs of congruent sides (marked with single and double - hash marks). But we don't have enough information about the included angles or the third sides. So, we cannot prove congruence.

Answer:

The triangles are not necessarily congruent.
