Question

What additional information could you use to show that ΔSTU ≅ ΔVTU using SAS? Check all that apply.

Answer 1

Options

A. UV = 14 ft and m∠TUV = 45°

B. TU = 26 ft

C. m∠STU = 37° and m∠VTU = 37°

D. ST = 20 ft, UV = 14 ft, and m∠UST = 98°

E. m∠UST = 98° and m ∠TUV = 45°

Answer:

A. UV = 14 ft and m∠TUV = 45°

D. ST = 20 ft, UV = 14 ft, and m∠UST = 98°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for triangle

Required

What proves that: ΔSTU ≅ ΔVTU using SAS

To prove their similarity, we must check the corresponding sides and angles of both triangles

First:

$\angle UST$ must equal $\angle UVT$

So:

$\angle UST = \angle UVT = 98$

Next:

UV must equal US.

So:

$UV = US = 14$

Also:

ST must equal VT

So:

$ST = VT = 20$

Lastly

$\angle TUV$ must equal $\angle TUS$

So:

$\angle TUV = \angle TUS = 45$

Hence: Options A and D are correct
