Question

5 multiple choice 1 point state whether these triangles are congruent by sss, sas, or none. a) sss b) sas c) none a b c

Explanation:

Step1: Recall SSS and SAS criteria

SSS (Side - Side - Side) requires three pairs of equal sides. SAS (Side - Angle - Side) requires two pairs of equal sides and the included angle equal.

Step2: Analyze the given triangles

For the first triangle, we have two sides equal (marked with one tick and two ticks). For the second triangle, two sides are equal (marked with one tick and two ticks), but the angle in the first triangle is between the two sides (the unmarked angle is between the two marked sides in the first triangle), and in the second triangle, the marked angle is not between the two marked sides. So, it does not satisfy SAS. Also, we don't know about the third side for SSS.

Answer:

C. None
