Question

would you use sss or sas to prove the triangles congruent? if there is not enough information to prove the triangles by sss or sas, write not enough information. explain your answer. write a congruence statement and give a reason why the triangles are congruent. select the correct choice below and, if necessary, write the vertices of the second triangle in the correct order. a. △sty≅△. sas b. △sty≅△. sss c. the two triangles are not necessarily congruent. there is not enough information.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify congruent sides

We see that $\overline{SY}\cong\overline{TW}$, $\overline{ST}\cong\overline{WT}$, and $\overline{YT}\cong\overline{XT}$.

Step2: Apply congruence criterion

Since all three pairs of corresponding sides are congruent, we use SSS (Side - Side - Side) congruence criterion.

Answer:

B. $\triangle STY\cong\triangle WTX$, SSS
