What other information do you need in order to prove the triangles congruent using the SAS congruence postulate

AC is perpendicular to BD.

<h3>Further explanation</h3>
  • We observe that both the ABC triangle and the ADC triangle have the same AC side length. Therefore we know that \boxed{ \ \overline{AC} \cong \overline{AC} \ } is reflexive.
  • The length of the base of the triangle is the same, i.e., \boxed{ \ \overline{BC} = \overline{CD} \ }.
  • In order to prove the triangles congruent using the SAS congruence postulate, we need the other information, namely \boxed{ \ AC \bot BD \ }. Thus we get ∠ACB = ∠ACD = 90°.

Conclusions for the SAS Congruent Postulate from this problem:

  • \boxed{ \ \overline{BC} = \overline{CD} \ }
  • ∠ACB = ∠ACD
  • \boxed{ \ \overline{AC} = \overline{AC} \ }

The following is not other or additional information along with the reasons.

  • ∠CBA = ∠CDA no, because that is AAS with ∠ACB = ∠ACD and \boxed{ \ \overline{AC} \cong \overline{AC} \ }
  • ∠BAC = ∠DAC no, because that is ASA with \boxed{ \ \overline{AC} \cong \overline{AC} \ } and ∠ACB = ∠ACD.
  • \boxed{ \ \overline{BC} = \overline{CD} \ } no, because already marked.

Notes

  • The SAS (Side-Angle-Side) postulate for the congruent triangles: two sides and the included angle of one triangle are congruent to two sides and the included angle of another triangle; the included angle properly represents the angle formed by two sides.
  • The ASA (Angle-Side-Angle) postulate for the congruent triangles: two angles and the included side of one triangle are congruent to two angles and the included side of another triangle; the included side properly represents the side between the vertices of the two angles.  
  • The SSS (Side-Side-Side) postulate for the congruent triangles: all three sides in one triangle are congruent to the corresponding sides within the other.
  • The AAS (Angle-Angle-Side) postulate for the congruent triangles: two pairs of corresponding angles and a pair of opposite sides are equal in both triangles.

A SAS congruence postulate means that it must have an equal side,angle,side! so in this example, it tells us a side that's equal so you'd need to prove an angle and another side to prove the triangles congruent

Can some help me out with this EXTRA POINTS!!
Butoxors [25]

Answer: ≈ 185.73009

Step-by-step explanation:

area of square: length^{2}

area of circle: \frac{radius^{2} * \pi }{y}

length: 15

radius = diameter/2

radius: 5

area of square - area of circle =  area between square and circle:

15^{2} - \frac{5^{2} * \pi }{2} = 225 - \frac{25\pi}{2} ≈ 185.73009

hope it helps!

Izzy had an 82 and an 88 on his first two tests and believed that he did well enough on his final exam to keep his B average.​ H
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

73

Step-by-step explanation:

to find the mean you need to add up all grades and divide if by the number of terms you added

(82 + 88 + x) ÷ 3 = 69 (since we don't know the third grade let's call it x)

170 + x = 69 × 3

x = 37

if the digits transposed the the actual grade would be 73
