Question

In the process of proving that opposite sides of a parallelogram are congruent, Ross drew a diagonal of the parallelogram and determined that the two triangles formed are congruent. He then concluded that opposite sides must be congruent, because corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent.

Using his markings in the diagram, which postulate allowed him to determine that the two triangles formed are congruent?

A) AAS
B) ASA
C) SAS
D) SSS

Answer 1

Answer:

(B) ASA

Step-by-step explanation:

we will verify each options

option-A:

we can see that there is no consecutive two angles

so, this postulates can not be true

so, this is FALSE

option-B:

We can see that

one angle and then side and another angle are equivalents

so, this is TRUE

option-C:

We can see that

one side and two angles are equivalents

so, this is FALSE

option-D:

we can see that

one side and two angles are equivalents

so, this is FALSE

Answer 2
