Question

kris claims that the two figures must be congruent. which statement best describes his claim? he is correct because both figures are triangles. he is correct because the measures of the angles are the same in both figures. he is incorrect because the triangles are not oriented the same way. he is incorrect because the lengths of the corresponding sides of the figures are unknown.

Explanation:

Congruent triangles require both equal - angle measures and equal - side lengths. Just having the same angle measures (as in similar triangles) is not sufficient. The orientation of the triangles does not affect congruence. Since only angle measures are given and side lengths are unknown, we cannot confirm congruence.

Answer:

He is incorrect because the lengths of the corresponding sides of the figures are unknown.
