What are the postulates for congruent triangles

Mathematics

Delvig [45]3 years ago

Hi there!

There are 5 ways to find if two triangles are congruent :

SSS, SAS, ASA, AAS & HL

<u>1. SSS (Side, Side, Side)</u>

Means that we have two triangles with 3 sides equal.

⇒ If 3 sides of one triangle are equal to 3 sides of another triangle, the triangles are congruent.

<u>2. SAS (Side, Angle, Side)</u>

Means that we have two triangles where we know 2 sides and the included angle are equal.

⇒ If 2 sides and the includent angle of one triangle are equal to the corresponding sides and angle of another triangle, the triangles are congruent.

<u>3. ASA (Angle, Side, Angle)</u>

Means that we have two triangles where we know 2 angles and the included side are equal.

⇒ If 2 angles and the included side of one triangle are equal to the corresponding angles and side of another triangle, the triangles are congruent.

<u>4. AAS (Angle, Angle, Side)</u>

Means thant we have two triangles where we know 2 angles and the non-included side are equal.

⇒ If 2 angles and the non-included side of one triangle are equal to the coresponding angles and side of another triangle, the triangles are congruent.

<u>5. HL (Hypotenuse, leg)</u>

** This one only applies to <em><u>right-angled triangles</u></em>.**

Hypotenuse: The longest side of a right-angled triangle.

Legs: The other 2 sides of the right-angled triangle.

Means we have two right-angled triangles with the same length of hypotenuse and the same length for one of the other 2 legs (it doesn't matter which leg since the triangles could be rotated).

⇒ If the hypotenuse and one leg of one right-angled triangles are equal to the corresponding hypotenuse and leg of another right-angled triangles, the two triangles are congruent.


There you go! I really hope this helped, if there's anything just let me know! :)

PLEASE HELP WITH GEOMETRY WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST

Answer:

Option D

Step-by-step explanation:

In the first three options we can evaluate the values of x with the help of Sine Rule for all the triangles

The Rule says

\frac{\sin A}{a}=\frac{\sin B}{b}=\frac{\sin C}{c}

Where a , b and c are the sides opposite to the angles A, B and C of any ΔABC.

Hence , in order to determine unknown values of sides or angles , we need any 3 values from all 3 sides and 3 angles in a triangle. First Three options give us three values but the last option gives only 2.

Example

in first option we can apply Sine Rule as

\frac{\sin 84}{x}=\frac{\sin 63}{3}

\frac{0.994}{x}=\frac{0.891}{3}

x=\frac{0.991 \times 3}{0.891}

x=\frac{2.973}{0.891}

x=3.336
