Question

question 5 (1 point)
can you use the sas theorem to prove the triangles congruent?
a no, but you could use sss
b yes, reflexive property
c yes, vertical angles
d no, you only have one side known to be congruent

Explanation:

Step1: Recall SAS Congruence Theorem

SAS (Side - Angle - Side) Theorem 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 given triangles

We have two sides marked as congruent. The non - marked angles are vertical angles. Vertical angles are congruent. So we have two sides and the included angle (the vertical angles) congruent.

Answer:

C. yes, vertical angles
