Question

  1. choose the correct answer.

which pair of triangles demonstrates congruence with the sss postulate?

Explanation:

Step1: Recall SSS Postulate

SSS (Side - Side - Side) postulate states that if three sides of one triangle are equal to three sides of another triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.

Step2: Analyze each option

  • Option A: There are angles marked, so it is likely using ASA (Angle - Side - Angle) or AAS (Angle - Angle - Side) instead of SSS.
  • Option B: There are angles marked, so it is likely using ASA or AAS instead of SSS.
  • Option C: There are three pairs of sides marked as equal. This satisfies the SSS postulate.
  • Option D: There are two sides and an included angle (SAS - Side - Angle - Side) or just two sides (not enough for SSS) marked.

Answer:

C.
