Question

  1. which postulate would prove two triangles are congruent if you only know two sides and a non - included angle are equal? none of the above sas asa sss

Explanation:

Brief Explanations
  1. Recall the congruence postulates:
  • SAS (Side - Angle - Side) requires the angle to be the included angle between the two sides.
  • ASA (Angle - Side - Angle) requires two angles and the included side.
  • SSS (Side - Side - Side) requires three sides.
  • There is no standard congruence postulate for two sides and a non - included angle (SSA is not a valid congruence postulate in general for all triangles, unlike the other postulates which work for all triangles). So, none of the given postulates (SAS, ASA, SSS) can prove two triangles congruent with two sides and a non - included angle.

Answer:

None of the above
