for which pair of triangles would you use AAS to prove the congruence of the 2 triangles
Answer:
The correct option is B.
Step-by-step explanation:
According to AAS congruence rule, two triangles are congruent if two angles and a non included side are congruent to corresponding angles and side of another triangle.
We need two angles and a non included side, to use AAS postulate.
In option A, two sides and their inclined angle are congruent, therefore these triangles are congruent by SAS postulate and option A is incorrect.
In option B, two angles and a non included side are congruent, therefore these triangles are congruent by AAS postulate and option B is correct.
In option C, two angles and their included side are congruent, therefore these triangles are congruent by ASA postulate and option C is incorrect.
In option D, all sides are congruent, therefore these triangles are congruent by SSS postulate and option D is incorrect.
Similar triangles may or may not be congruent.
The pair that supports AAS postulate is (b)
To do this, we simply analyze the options
(a) Triangle A
Two sides and one angle are congruent for both triangles.
This means that, the theorem is: SAS
(b) Triangle B
Two angles and one side are congruent for both triangles.
This means that, the theorem is: AAS or ASA
However, the congruent side is not between the angles.
So, the correct theorem for triangles B is AAS
Hence, the pair of triangles that supports AAS postulate is (b)
