Congruent triangles are similar triangles.
- 17: Congruent by SSS
- 18: NC
Question 17
From the attachment, we have the following highlights
- Two corresponding sides of the triangles are single and double marked (Side-Side)
- The triangles share a common side (Side)
So, the triangles are congruent by Side-Side-Side i.e. SSS postulate
Question 18
From the attachment, we have the following highlight:
- Corresponding sides AB and DC are not congruent
i.e.
[tex]\mathbf{3\ ne 4}[/tex]
So, the triangles are not congruent i.e. NC
