Question

state if the two triangles are congruent. if they are, state how you know. a) sss b) not congruent c) sas d) aas

Explanation:

Step1: Recall congruence criteria

SSS means side - side - side (all three sides equal), SAS means side - angle - side (two sides and the included angle equal), AAS means angle - angle - side (two angles and a non - included side equal).

Step2: Analyze the triangles

If from the figure we can see two sides and the included angle of one triangle are equal to the corresponding two sides and included angle of the other triangle, then by the SAS congruence criterion, the two triangles are congruent.

Answer:

C. SAS
