HW 4.3 Proving and Applying SAS and SSS

(a)  

(a)  

• SSS (Side, Side, Side)
• SAS (Side, Angle, Side)
• Neither is possible.

• Yes, SAS
• Yes, by SSS
• No, it does not provide enough congruent corresponding parts

Are the pairs of triangles congruent by SAS? By SSS?

• SAS
• SSS
• Neither

Are the pairs of triangles congruent by SAS? By SSS?

• SAS
• SSS
• Neither

Are the pairs of triangles congruent by SAS? By SSS?

• SAS
• SSS
• Neither

Are the pairs of triangles congruent by SAS? By SSS?

• YES, ∆LMN ≅∆LPN by SAS
• YES, ∆LMN ≅∆LPN by SSS
• No, ∆LMN is not congruent to ∆LPN

Are the pairs of triangles congruent by SAS? By SSS?

• YES, ∆WXV ≅∆TUS by SAS
• YES, ∆WXV ≅∆TUS by SSS
• No, ∆WXV is not congruent to ∆TUS

Your friend thinks that the triangles shown below are congruent by SAS. Is your friend​ correct? Explain.

• Yes, the figure indicates that two corresponding angles and their included side are all congruent.
• No, the congruent angles are not the included angles.
• No, the figure only indicates that two corresponding sides are​ congruent, not three as required by the SAS Postulate.
• Yes, the figure indicates that two corresponding sides and their included angle are all congruent.
