Brief Explanations
  • The figure shows a parallelogram divided into two triangles by a diagonal.
  • In a parallelogram, opposite sides are equal. So, we have two pairs of equal sides.
  • The diagonal is a common side (third side) for both triangles.
  • The Side - Side - Side (SSS) Congruence Postulate states that if three sides of one triangle are equal to three sides of another triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.

Answer:

Side Side Side Congruence Postulate
