Question

your friend thinks that the triangles shown below are congruent by sas. is your friend correct? explain.

choose the correct answer below.

o a. no, the congruent angles are not the included angles.
o b. yes, the figure indicates that two corresponding sides and their included angle are all congruent.
o c. no, the congruent sides are not the included sides.
o d. yes, the figure indicates that three corresponding sides are congruent.
o e. yes, the figure indicates that two corresponding angles and their included side are all congruent.
o f. no, the figure only indicates that two corresponding sides are congruent, not three as required by the sas postulate.

Explanation:

The SAS (Side - Angle - Side) congruence postulate requires two sides and the included angle (the angle between the two sides) of one triangle to be congruent to the corresponding two sides and included angle of another triangle. In the given triangles, the congruent angles are not the included angles between the marked sides.

Answer:

A. No, the congruent angles are not the included angles.
