Question

would you use sss or sas to prove the triangles congruent? if there is not enough information to prove the triangles by sss or sas, write
ot enough information.\ explain your answer.
write a congruence statement and give a reason why the triangles are congruent. select the correct choice below and, if necessary, write the vertices of the second triangle in the correct order.
a. △prw≅△vus, sss
b. △prw≅△, sas
c. the two triangles are not necessarily congruent. there is not enough information.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the sides

From the figure, we have \(SR = WR\), \(VR = PR\), and \(VS = PW\).

Step2: Apply the SSS congruence criterion

The SSS (Side - Side - Side) congruence criterion states that if three sides of one triangle are equal to three sides of another triangle, then the two triangles are congruent. Here, in \(\triangle VRS\) and \(\triangle PWR\), we have:

• \(SR = WR\)
• \(VR = PR\)
• \(VS = PW\)

Answer:

A. \(\triangle PRW\cong\triangle VUS\), SSS
