Question

would you use sss or sas to prove the triangles congruent? if there is not enough information to prove the triangles by sss or sas, write
ot enough information\. explain your answer. write a congruence statement and give a reason why the triangles are congruent. select the correct choice below and, if necessary, write the vertices of the second triangle in the correct order. a. △vxc≅△, sas b. △vxc≅△, sss c. the two triangles are not necessarily congruent. there is not enough information.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify given information

We see two right - angled triangles with one leg equal (8 ft) and a common side (VX = XA). But we don't know about the third sides.

Step2: Recall congruence postulates

SSS (Side - Side - Side) requires all three sides of one triangle to be equal to the corresponding three sides of another triangle. SAS (Side - Angle - Side) requires two sides and the included angle of one triangle to be equal to the corresponding two sides and included angle of another triangle. Here, we have only two sides given and no information about the included angles or the third sides.

Answer:

C. The two triangles are not necessarily congruent. There is not enough information.
