to prove two triangles congruent

c)

after proving triangles congruent to get the corresponding parts congruent

d)

never use CPCTC it is not a thing

5.

The Base Angles Theorem states:

a)

If two angles of a triangle are congruent, then the sides opposite of those angles are congruent.

b)

If two sides of a triangle are congruent, then the angles opposite of those sides are congruent.

c)

If two triangles are congruent, then their corresponding sides and angles are congruent.

d)

None of the above.

6.

What will the last "reason" of this proof be?

Definition of Midpoint

b)

Definition of Angle Bisector
