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: Identify markings

One side is marked congruent on both triangles.

Step2: Identify angle

One angle is marked congruent on both triangles.

Step3: Identify second side

The second side adjacent to the angle is marked congruent.

Step4: Apply congruence criterion

By SAS (two sides and the included angle are congruent), the triangles are congruent. SSA is not a valid congruence criterion for proving triangle congruence in general.

Answer:

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