Question

Which piece of information below will not help you prove that triangles ABC and DEF are congruent using ASA?

Answer 1

Answer:

A) $AC=DF$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for triangles ABC and DEF

Options

A) $AC=DF$

B) $AB=DE$

C) $\angle B=\angle E$

D) $\angle A=\angle D$

Required

Which does not prove the congruence of ABC and DEF using ASA?

From the attachment, we have the following:

$\angle A = \angle D$ --- Angle

$AB = DE$ --- Side

$\angle B = \angle E$ ---- Angle

The ASA theorem means that 1 side of both triangles are equal.

By comparing the listed parameter to the options, we can see that options B, C and D prove that both triangles are congruent by ASA.

However, option A $AC=DF$ cannot be used because that will mean that two sides of both triangles are equal. This does not support the ASA theorem
