Question

11. What other information do you need to prove the triangles congruent using the AAS Congruence Postulate?

Answer 1

From the diagram, we are given that triangle ABC and triangle ADC shares the same side AC, so it means both triangles have one congruent side.

 We are also given that angle BAC and angle DAC are equal.

If we want to prove the triangles congruent using Angle-Angle-Side congruent postulate, we need to see one angle in each triangle that is congruent. We will need the information either: ACB = ACD or ABC = ADC

Correct answer: fourth option
