Question

problem 10: (first taught in lesson 35) select which shortcut can be used to prove this pair of triangles congruent. if no method applies, choose
one.\ after you pick your answer press go. a. side - side - side b. hypotenuse - leg c. side - angle - side d. angle - side - angle e. none

Explanation:

Step1: Observe the triangle

There are two marked equal sides and the included angle (the right - angle) is common to both triangles.

Step2: Recall congruence postulates

The Side - Angle - Side (SAS) postulate states that if two sides and the included angle of one triangle are congruent to two sides and the included angle of another triangle, then the two triangles are congruent. Here, the two marked sides and the right - angle between them satisfy the SAS condition.

Answer:

C. Side - Angle - Side
