Question

Given: TSR and QRS are right angles; T ≅ Q

Prove: TSR ≅ QRS



Step 1: We know that TSR ≅ QRS because all right angles are congruent.

Step 2: We know that T ≅ Q because it is given.

Step 3: We know that SR ≅ RS because of the reflexive property.

Step 4: TSR ≅ QRS because __________



1. of the ASA congruence theorem

2. of the AAS congruence theorem

3. of the third angel theorem

4. all right triangles are congruent

Answer 1

The answer is B

Explanation:

Answer 2

The answer is number (2) ⇒ because of the AAS congruence theorem

Explanation:

* Lets use the information to solve the problem

- In the given triangles TSR and QRS

# We have a common side RS or SR

# Two right angles TSR and QRS

# m∠T = m∠Q ⇒ given

* So we have two pairs of angles and one common side, lets

revise the cases of congruence

- SSS ⇒ 3 sides in the 1st Δ ≅ 3 sides in the 2nd Δ

- SAS ⇒ 2 sides and including angle in the 1st Δ ≅ 2 sides and

including angle in the 2nd Δ

- ASA ⇒ 2 angles and the side whose joining them in the 1st Δ

≅ 2 angles and the side whose joining them in the 2nd Δ

- AAS ⇒ 2 angles and one side in the first triangle ≅ 2 angles

and one side in the 2ndΔ

* Now lets read the statements and write the missing

Step 1: m∠TSR = m∠QRS = 90° ⇒ because all right angles are congruent

Step 2: m∠T = m∠Q ⇒ because it is given

Step 3: SR ≅ RS ⇒ because of reflexive property (common side)

Step 4: Δ TSR ≅ ΔQRS ⇒ because of the AAS congruence theorem

* The answer is number (2)
