Question

question 8 of 10
is \\( \triangle u v w \cong \triangle x y z \\) ? if so, name the postulate that applies.
given:
\\( \angle u \cong \angle x \\)
\\( \angle v \cong \angle y \\)
\\( \angle w \cong \angle z \\)
a. congruent - asa
b. might not be congruent
c. congruent - aaa
d. congruent - sss

Explanation:

• AAA (Angle - Angle - Angle) is not a valid congruence postulate. It only guarantees similarity, not congruence.
• ASA (Angle - Side - Angle) requires a side between two angles. Here, no side is given as equal.
• SSS (Side - Side - Side) requires all three sides to be equal. No sides are given as equal.

Answer:

B. Might not be congruent
