Question

Help me answer this question about congruent triangles. 50 points available.

Answer 1

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

No these triangles are not congruent.

Left triangle

Shortest side = 6 cm

Longest side = 13 cm

3rd side = unknown but < 13

Right triangle

Shortest side = 6 cm

Longest side = unknown but > 13

3rd side = 13 cm

Although the shortest side of both triangles is 6 cm, the longest side of the left triangle is 13 cm, whereas the longest side of the right triangle is unknown but will be more than 13 cm.

We do not know if any of the angles are congruent.  If they were congruent, we would expect to see this marked by the same angle line(s) on each triangle.
