Question

if vx = wz = 40 cm and m∠vzx = m∠xwz = 22°, can △vzx and △wxz be proven congruent by sas? why or why not? yes, the triangles are both obtuse. yes, along with the given information, zx ≅ zx by the reflexive property. no, there is not enough information given. no, the sides of the triangles intersect.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall SAS congruence rule

SAS requires two sides and included angle of one triangle equal to corresponding parts of another.

Step2: Identify given parts

△VZX and △WXZ have VX=WZ=40 cm (one side), ∠ZVX=∠XWZ=22° (angle).

Step3: Check included sides

Included sides for the angles: △VZX needs VZ; △WXZ needs WX. VZ=WX not given.

Answer:

No, there is not enough information given.
