Answer:

SSS:

Draw a triangle with sides of 2 cm, 3cm and 4cm and another one of 4cm, 6cm and 8 cm. Both will be SSS congruent.

SAS:

Draw a triangle with sides of 2 cm, 3 cm and another side of your choice. The angle between sides of 2 and 3 cm is 30 degrees. Now draw a triangle with sides of 4 cm, 6cm and another side of your choice (but this one cannot be the double of the 3rd side of the first triangle!) . The angle between the sides of 4 cm and 6 cm should be 60 degrees. Now you have 2 SAS congruent triangles.

Beverly drew the line AB shown below. She then constructed line DC which is the perpendicular bisector of AB.

Answer:

Line segments are congruent due to the side-angle-side congruence postulate.

Step-by-step explanation:

DC is the perpendicular bisector of line AB, this mean that DC divides AB at 90 degrees into two equal parts at point E. Hence:

AE = BE

Also DE ≅ DE (reflexive property of congruence)

Also ∠AED = ∠BED = 90° (perpendicular bisector)

We can therefore say that triangle AED and triangle BED are congruent according to the side-angle-side congruence theorem. Therefore line AD = line BD
