Question

determine the relationship between the two triangles and whether or not they can be proven to be congruent.
answer attempt 1 out of 2
the two triangles are related by , so the triangles

Explanation:

Step1: Identify markings

The single - hash marks on sides and the angle markings are given.

Step2: Recall congruence postulate

SAS postulate states that if two sides and the included angle of one triangle are congruent to two sides and the included angle of another triangle, the triangles are congruent.

Step3: Apply postulate

From the markings, we see two pairs of congruent sides and the included angles are congruent, so by SAS the triangles are congruent.

Answer:

The two triangles are related by Side - Angle - Side (SAS), so the triangles are congruent.
