Question

B is the midpoint of segment AC. Which statement best describes the relationship between triangles ABD and CBD? (1 point)

Answer 1

The statement that best describes the relationship between triangles ABD and CBD is 'Triangles ABD and CBD are congruent by the SSS Congruence postulate'. Option A

What are similar triangles?

It is important to note the following;

"Two triangles are similar when their corresponding angles are equal and corresponding sides are in equal proportion."

The SSS congruence states that ; "Two triangles are congruent if all three sides of a triangle are congruent to corresponding three sides of other triangle."

SSS similarity postulates that;  "Two triangles are similar if all the three sides of a triangle are in proportion to the three sides of another triangle."

SAS similarity postulates that ; "Two triangles are similar if the two sides of a triangle are in the same proportion of the two sides of another triangle, and the angle between the two sides in both the triangle are equal."

SAS congruence postulates that ; "Two triangles are congruent if two sides and the angle between these two sides of one triangle are congruent to the corresponding two sides and the included angle of a second triangle."

For given question,

We have been given triangles ABD and CBD.

B is the midpoint of line AC

⇒ AB = BC

For triangles ABD and CBD,

side AB = side CB; since, B is the midpoint of line AC

side BD = side BD ; they have common sides

side AD = side CD = 15 units each

So, by SSS postulates of triangle congruence triangles ABD and CBD are congruent triangles.

Therefore, the statement that best describes the relationship between triangles ABD and CBD is 'Triangles ABD and CBD are congruent by the SSS Congruence postulate'. Option A
