Question

Type SSS, SAS, ASA, SAA, or HL to
justify why the two larger triangles are
congruent.

Answer 1

Answer:

ASA

Step-by-step explanation:

The two small angles which are the base angles of the small triangle in the middle are marked as equal.

The two large angles of the two triangles are also marked as conguent.

The base of the small triangle in the middle is common to both the larger triangles by the reflexive property (a line is always equal to itself). The line is between two sets of congruent angles. Therefore the two large triangles are congruent by ASA

Answer 2

Answer:  ASA

Explanation:

It might help to peel the triangles apart as I have done so below.

We have two pairs of congruent angles, as shown by the distinct angle markers. Between the congruent angles, we have a pair of congruent sides.

The side (S) is between the angles (A), which is why we use ASA.

Note: SAA is slightly different where the congruent sides are not between the congruent angles.
