Question

43. If L is the midpoint of KN and MP, which

Answer 1

Answer:

Side-Angle-Side

Step-by-step explanation:

See attachment for figures

Given

Midpoint L

Lines KN and MP

Required

Which method proves the congruency of the triangles

Since L is the midpoint, then the following relationship exists:

• KL = NL
• ML = PL

This implies that two sides of both triangles are equal

Also, because KN is a transversal of MP and vice versa, then angles KLM and PLN are equal

Conclusively, 2 corresponding sides and 1 corresponding angle have been proven to be equal.

Hence, the method that prove that the triangles are equal is Side-Angle-Side (SAS)
