Triangle Congruence 7E95Cb
1. Problem: Determine if the given pairs of triangles are congruent and by which theorem.
2. Recall the congruence theorems:
- SSS: All three corresponding sides are congruent.
- SAS: Two sides and the included angle are congruent.
- ASA: Two angles and the included side are congruent.
- AAS: Two angles and a non-included side are congruent.
3. (a) Triangles ABC and EFD have all three sides marked congruent.
- By SSS theorem, since all corresponding sides are congruent, \(\triangle ABC \cong \triangle EFD\).
4. (b) Triangle MNO has two sides congruent to another triangle's sides and the included angle congruent.
- By SAS theorem, \(\triangle MNO \cong \triangle \square\).
5. (c) Triangles GHI and \(\square\) have two angles and a side opposite one angle congruent.
- By AAS theorem, \(\triangle GHI \cong \triangle \square\).
Final answers:
- (a) Congruent by SSS
- (b) Congruent by SAS
- (c) Congruent by AAS
