Question

In AABC and ADEF, mZA = 68°,

m/C= m/F = 59°, mZE = 53°, and
AB = DE = 8 units. Can you prove that
AABC = ADEF? If so, write a proof. If not,
explain why not.

Answer 1

It is impossible to prove that AABC = ADEF with the information given. In order for us to prove that these two figures are congruent, we would need to know the measures of all the angles in both figures and the lengths of all the sides. Since we only have the measures of some of the angles and the lengths of two sides, we cannot prove that the figures are congruent.
