Question

A set of notations (SSS, SAS, ASA and RHS) is used to describe/prove that two triangles are conjurent. For each pair of triangles, select the correct statement.

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is given below

Step-by-step explanation:

The statements are not given but from this definition, you should be able to select the correct statement.

Triangles are said to be congruent if they have the same size and shape. A triangle is made up of six (three sides and three angles) but only three is usually needed to prove triangle congruence. These are:

a) Side - Side - Side (SSS): Two triangles are congruent if the length of their three sides are equal to each other.

b) Side- angle- side (SAS): If two sides and one angle of a triangle is equal to two sides and a angle of another triangle then the two triangles are congruent to each other.

c) Angle - side - angle (ASA): If two angles and a side of a triangle are equal to a corresponding two angles and a side of another triangle then the two triangles are congruenr.

d) Right angle - hypotenuse - side (RHS): If for two right angled triangles, their hypotenuse and a side (leg) are equal, then the two triangles are congruent.
