Question

What would the answer to this question be? I don’t understand this stuff at all

Answer 1

A. You don't know anything about the acute angles, so A. is out.

B. The triangles are right triangles. The hypotenuse and leg of one triangle are congruent to the corresponding hypotenuse and leg of the other triangle, so B. is true.

C. Using the right angles, you do have side-angle-side, so C. is true.

D. You don't know anything abut the acute angles, so D. is out.

E. You only know about one pair of angles, so AAS is out.

F. All sides of one triangle are congruent to the sides of the other triangle, so SSS works.

Answer: B, C, F

Answer 2

Well since you know all the sides are congruent in both triangles you could use the SSS theorem (F)

Also you can use SAS because you know <A = <D and also that two pairs of sides are congruent (AB = CE) and (AC = DF). (C)

You can use HL since the hypotenuse is congruent in both triangles and one pair of legs are congruent (B)

I think the answers are B,C,F
