Question

are the triangles congruent? if so, write a congruence statement and reason why. (1 point) yes, \\( \triangle abc \cong \triangle nlm \\) by the ssa congruence theorem. yes, \\( \triangle abc \cong \triangle mln \\) by the ssa congruence theorem. yes, \\( \triangle abc \cong \triangle lmn \\) by the ssa congruence theorem. no, the triangles are not necessarily congruent.

Explanation:

SSA (Side - Side - Angle) is not a valid congruence theorem for triangles in general. Just because two sides and a non - included angle of one triangle are equal to two sides and a non - included angle of another triangle does not guarantee that the triangles are congruent.

Answer:

No, the triangles are not necessarily congruent.
