Question

For △RST and △UVW, ∠R≅∠U, ST≅VW, and ∠S≅∠v. Explain how you can prove △RST ≅△UVW by ASA

Answer 1

Answer:

See explanation below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that in △RST and △UVW

• m∠T=180°-m∠R-m∠S;
• m∠W=180°-m∠U-m∠V.

Since ∠R≅∠U and ∠S≅∠V, then ∠T≅∠W.

In ΔRST and ΔUVW:

• ∠S≅∠V (given);
• ∠T≅∠W (proved);
• ST≅VW (given).

ASA theorem that states that if two angles and the included side of one triangle are congruent to the corresponding parts of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

By ASA theorem ΔRST≅ΔUVW.
