Question
the reason in proving congruent triangles
rt || sp, rq ≅ qp, rp bisects st at q
△rqt ≅ △pqs
tamir is working to prove the triangles congruent using sas. after stating the
given information, he states that tq ≅ qs by the definition of segment
bisector. now he wants to state that ∠rqt ≅ ∠pqs. which reason should
hé use?
corresponding angles theorem
vertical angles theorem
alternate interior angles theorem
linear pair postulate
Vertical angles are the angles opposite each other when two lines cross. In the given diagram, ∠RQT and ∠PQS are vertical angles. The vertical angles theorem states that vertical angles are congruent.
