Question

How is ABC and AED congruent please explain?

Answer 1

Explanation:

In congruent triangles, corresponding sides and angles must be the same. So essentially, they are the same triangles

So if you look at ABC and ADE

<A same as <A

AE same as AB

BC same as DE

AC same as AD

You only need so much to prove the triangles are congruent

Rules:

SSS (side side side theorem. it says if all the sides are the same then the triangle is congruent, so so are the angles)

SAS (side angle side) AB <A AC

ASA (angle side angle), you do not have 2 angles for this example

AAS (angle angle side)

This problem you can use

SSS or SAS
