Question

Given that , the _____ justifies the conclusion that ∆ABD ≅ ∆AEC.

SSS Postulate


AAS Theorem


ASA Postulate


SAS Postulate

Answer 1

AAS Postulate

It is given that CE = BD so we know "S" (representing side) has to be in the three letter postulate.
It is also given that angle DBA and angle CEA are right angles, so therefore they are congruent. Now we know that an "A" must also be in the postulate.

Lastly, we know that the triangles have a second angle, EAB, in common because they share it overlappingly. So there must be another "A" in the postulate.

Now we need to look at the order in which it is presented. The order follows Angle, Angle, Side so the postulate must be the AAS postulate. Hope this helps!
