Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer: SAS = side - angle -side congruence
SSS = side - side - side congruence
Discussion
:
In Plane Geometry, identical triangles are said to be "congruent". There are several ways, depending upon the information you have, to prove 2 triangles are congruent.
In one approach ("SSS") if you can show that 2 triangles have identical side lengths, then the triangles are congruent. (A triangle has 3 sides, hence "SSS" -- 3 S's; 3 sides, get it?)
In another approach ("SAS") if you can show that 2 sides, and the angle included between those sides, in one triangle are identical to the sides and included angle in another triangle, then the triangles are congruent
It's easier to understand this with a picture or diagram than in words. Please review the SSS, SAS picture in your textbook

Answer:
because 1+1 adds up to 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
3x + 3y = -x + 5y
3x + x = 5y - 3y
4x = 2y
Divide both by 2
2x = y
(1,2) when x=1, y=2
2(1)=2 is a true statement
(2,4) when x=2, y=4
2(2)=4 is a true statement
