These triangles are congruent by the triangle congruence postulate [?]


These Triangles Are Congruent By The Triangle Congruence Postulate class=

Sagot :

Given:

A figure of two congruent triangles.

To find:

The triangle congruence postulate by which the given triangles are congruent.

Solution:

First label the vertices as shown below.

In triangle ABC and triangle CDA,

[tex]AB\cong CD[/tex]                   (Given)

[tex]\angle BAC\cong \angle DCA[/tex]                   (Given)

[tex]AC\cong AC[/tex]                  (Common side)

The corresponding two sides and their included angle are congruent in both triangles. So, triangles are congruent by SAS congruence postulate.

[tex]\Delta ABC\cong \Delta CDA[/tex]            [SAS congruence postulate]

Therefore, the correct option is B.
