Triangle Congruence and Angle Relationships

The video tutorial explains how to prove that triangle ADC is congruent to triangle BEC using given information about congruent segments and vertical angles. The proof is based on the side-angle-side congruence theorem. The tutorial emphasizes not assuming figures are drawn to scale and concludes with a successful verification of the proof.

Why should we not assume the figure is drawn to scale?

• Because it is drawn by a professional.

• Because it is always accurate.

• Because it might be misleading.

• Because it is a perfect representation.
