How many facts does it take to make triangles congruent? Only 3 if they are the right three and the parts are located in the right place.
SAS where 2 sides make up one of the three angles of a triangle. The angle must between the 2 sides.
ASA where the S (side) is common to both the two given angles.
SSS where all three sides of one triangle are the same as all three sides of a second triangle. This one is my favorite. It has no exceptions.
In one very special case, you need only 2 facts, but that case is very special and it really is one of the cases above.
If you are working with a right angle triangle, you can get away with being given the hypotenuse and one of the sides. So you only need 2 facts. It is called the HL theorem. But that is a special case of SSS. The third side can be found from a^2 + b^2 = c^2.
You can also use the two sides making up the right angle but that is a special case of SAS.
Answer
There 6 parts to every triangle: 3 sides and 3 angles. If you show congruency, using any of the 3 facts above, you can conclude that the other 3 parts of the triangle are congruent as well as the three that you have.
Geometry is built on that wonderfully simple premise and it is your introduction to what makes a proof. So it's important that you understand how proving parts of congruent triangles work.

Answer:
12 and 1/2 (12.5)
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
1. C) 3
2. D) -1
3. D) 7^2 - 8*2 - 16
4. B) 75
5. B) 6^2 + (2 - 8)*sqrt(81)
Step-by-step explanation:
1. (10 - (6-4)^2)/2
= (10 - 2^2)/2
= (10 - 4)/2
= 6/2
= 3
2. PEMDAS states that Multiplication is before Subtraction
8 - (5^2-7)/2
= 8 - (25-7)/2
= 8 - 18/2
= 8 - 9
= -1
3. D) 7^2 - (8*2) - 16
= 49 - 16 - 16
= 49 - 32
= 17
4. 3(2 + 3)^2
= 3(5)^2
= 3(25)
= 75
5. 6^2 + (2 - 8)*sqrt(81)
= 36 + (-6*9)
= 36 - 54
= -18
AZ^2= 2^2 + 2^2 = 8
AP^2 = ZP^2 = 5^2 + 7^2 = 74
P^2of APZ = /8 + 74*2 =156
P= 12.489
