The postulate that can be used to prove that the given
Answer to Problem 18PPS
It is not possible to prove that the given triangles are congruent.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The given figure is:
Calculation:
According to the SSS Congruence Postulate, if all the 3 sides of one triangle are congruent to the 3 sides of the second triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.
According to the SAS Congruence Postulate, if the 2 sides and the included angle of the first triangle are congruent to the 2 sides and the included angle of the second triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.
Looking at the given figure, two pairs of sides is given to be congruent. One pair of corresponding non-included
Hence, it is not possible to prove that the given triangles are congruent.
