Question

are these triangles congruent? if so, state the rule which you used to determine congruence. ssa asa not congruent sas

Explanation:

Step1: Recall congruence rules

• SSA (Side - Side - Angle) is not a valid congruence rule in general.
• ASA (Angle - Side - Angle) requires two angles and the included side to be equal.
• SAS (Side - Angle - Side) requires two sides and the included angle to be equal.

Step2: Analyze the given triangles

• In the first triangle, we have a side - angle - side (but the angle is not included between the two sides).
• In the second triangle, the correspondence of sides and angles does not match the ASA or SAS rules.

Answer:

Not Congruent
