Question

problem 5: (first taught in lesson 36) complete this sentence with the best of the choices given. according to the ________ shortcut, two triangles are congruent if all three of their corresponding sides are congruent. after you pick your answer press go. a. angle - angle - side b. side - angle - side c. angle - side - angle d. side - side - side e. hypotenuse - leg

Explanation:

Step1: Recall congruence rules

The rule for two triangles being congruent when all three corresponding sides are congruent is SSS (Side - Side - Side).

Step2: Analyze options

A (Angle - Angle - Side) requires two angles and a non - included side, B (Side - Angle - Side) requires two sides and the included angle, C (Angle - Side - Angle) requires two angles and the included side, E (Hypotenuse - Leg) is for right - angled triangles. Only D matches the description in the problem.

Answer:

D. Side - Side - Side
