Question

Explain whether △ABC is congruent to △XYZ according to the angle side angle (ASA) congruence criteria.

Answer 1

Answer:

∆ABC and ∆XYZ cannot be proven to be congruent to each other according to the Angle-Side-Angle (ASA) Congruence criteria.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Angle-Side-Angle (ASA) Congruence criteria says that two triangles are congruent to each other if two angles and an included side of one triangle is congruent to two corresponding angles and a corresponding included side of the other triangle.

In the diagram given, the two angles were given (<B and <C), however, the side given (side AB) does not lie in the middle of <B and <C, hence it is NOT AN INCLUDED SIDE. The same applies to ∆XYZ.

Therefore, ∆ABC and ∆XYZ cannot be proven to be congruent to each other according to the Angle-Side-Angle (ASA) Congruence criteria.
