Question

Use the Side, Side, Side Rule (SSS) to prove that the triangles in each pair are congruent. Draw hash marks to show the congruent sides. Then write a congruence statement for each pair of triangles

Answer 1

hehe boi

Explanation:

Answer 2

(1) ΔMAN ≅ ΔBOY

(2) ΔMAT ≅ ΔRUG

(3) ΔEBN ≅ ΔUHR

(4) ΔTOP ≅ ΔLID

(5) ΔCAT ≅ ΔDOG

(6) ΔITP ≅ ΔLOH

Explanation:

The following combinations of the congruent triangle facts will be sufficient to prove triangles congruent.

The combinations are:

(1) SSS (side-side-side) : If three sides of a triangle are congruent to three sides of another triangle then the triangles are congruent.

(2) SAS (side-angle-side) : If two sides and included angle of a triangle are congruent to another triangle then the triangles are congruent.

(3) ASA (angle-side-angle) : If two angles and included side of a triangle are congruent to another triangle then the triangles are congruent.

(4) RHS (right angle-hypotenuse-side) : If the hypotenuse and leg of one right triangle are congruent to the corresponding parts of another right triangle, the right triangles are congruent.

Part (1):

As we are given two triangles.

Side AM = Side OB

Side MN = Side BY

Side AN = Side OY

That means,

ΔMAN ≅ ΔBOY

Part (2):

As we are given two triangles.

Side MA = Side RU

Side MT = Side RG

Side AT = Side UG

That means,

ΔMAT ≅ ΔRUG

Part (3):

As we are given two triangles.

Side EB = Side UH

Side BN = Side HR

Side NE = Side RU

That means,

ΔEBN ≅ ΔUHR

Part (4):

As we are given two triangles.

Side OT = Side IL

Side OP = Side ID

Side PT = Side DL

That means,

ΔTOP ≅ ΔLID

Part (5):

As we are given two triangles.

Side AC = Side OD

Side AT = Side OG

Side TC = Side GD

That means,

ΔCAT ≅ ΔDOG

Part (6):

As we are given two triangles.

Side TP = Side OH

Side IT = Side LO

Side IP = Side LH

That means,

ΔITP ≅ ΔLOH
