Wouldn't it be 1/18x?????
Answer:
AAS postulate can be used to prove that these two triangles are congruent
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us revise the cases of congruence
- SSS ⇒ 3 sides in the 1st Δ ≅ 3 sides in the 2nd Δ
- SAS ⇒ 2 sides and including angle in the 1st Δ ≅ 2 sides and including angle in the 2nd Δ
- ASA ⇒ 2 angles and the side whose joining them in the 1st Δ ≅ 2 angles and the side whose joining them in the 2nd Δ
- AAS ⇒ 2 angles and one side in the 1st Δ ≅ 2 angles and one side in the 2nd Δ
- HL ⇒ hypotenuse and leg of the 1st right Δ ≅ hypotenuse and leg of the 2nd right Δ
In the given figure
∵ There is a pair of vertically opposite angles
∵ The vertically opposite angles are congruent ⇒ (1)
∵ There are two angles have the same mark
∴ These marked angles are congruent ⇒ (2)
∵ There are two sides have the same mark
∴ These two marked sides are congruent ⇒ (3)
→ From (1), (2), and (3)
∴ The two triangles have 2 angles and 1 side congruent
→ By using case 4 above
∴ The two triangles are congruent by the AAS postulate of congruency.
AAS postulate can be used to prove that these two triangles are congruent
Correct answers should be B and C
