Question

for which pair of triangles would you use sss to prove the congruence of the 2 triangles?
a
diagram of two triangles with angle and side markings

b
diagram of two triangles with angle and side markings

c
diagram of two triangles with angle and side markings

d
diagram of two triangles with angle and side markings

Explanation:

Step1: Recall SSS congruence rule

SSS (Side-Side-Side) congruence requires all three corresponding sides of two triangles to be marked as equal.

Step2: Analyze each option

• Option A: Has one right angle, two sides marked equal (not all three).
• Option B: Has two angles and one side marked equal.
• Option C: Has one right angle, one side, and one angle marked equal.
• Option D: All three corresponding sides of the two triangles are marked with matching congruence ticks (one tick, two ticks, three ticks for each pair of corresponding sides).

Answer:

D
