Question
if you wanted to explain why \\( \triangle abd \cong cbd \\) by the sas congruence theorem, which of the following would be helpful to know?
(1 point)
\\( \overline { a c } \\) is the angle bisector of \\( \angle b c d \\).
\\( \overline { a c } \\) is the angle bisector of \\( \angle b a d \\).
\\( \overline { b d } \\) is the angle bisector of \\( \angle b c d \\).
\\( \overline { b d } \\) is the angle bisector of \\( \angle a b c \\).
Step1: Recall SAS Congruence Theorem
SAS (Side - Angle - Side) states that if two sides and the included angle of one triangle are congruent to two sides and the included angle of another triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.
Step2: Analyze the triangles \(\triangle ABD\) and \(\triangle CBD\)
We know that \(BD = BD\) (common side). If \(BD\) is the angle bisector of \(\angle ABC\), then \(\angle ABD=\angle CBD\). Also, if we assume \(AB = CB\) (not given in the problem statement but for the sake of using SAS, we need the included angle). The included angle for sides \(AB\) and \(BD\) in \(\triangle ABD\) and sides \(CB\) and \(BD\) in \(\triangle CBD\) is \(\angle ABD\) and \(\angle CBD\) respectively.
