Question

If triangle RST is congruent to triangle WXY and the area of triangle WXY is 20 square inches, then the area of triangle RST is 20 in.²

True
False

Answer 1

statement is true

Explanation:

Given : If triangle RST is congruent to triangle WXY and area of triangle WXY is 20 square inches, then the area of triangle RST is 20 in.

To find : Statement is true or false .

Explanation :

Yes,if two triangles are congruent then you can place one above the other perfectly and both cover the same region.

So,we can say that both have the same area.

But the conversion is not true .

Therefore, statement is true .

Answer 2

True

Congruent shapes are identical in form; coinciding exactly when superimposed, therefore have the same area.
