Answer:

Segment EA = Segment EA (fourth choice)

Explanation:

The column proof says the reason the reflexive property, which simply states that something is equal to itself. You are also told at the end that you are using the SSS Postulate to prove congruence. This means you need a third pair of sides to be congruent and both triangles have EA. Segment EA = Segment EA satisfies all these requirements.

Answer:

EA = EA

Explanation:

The reflexive property of congruence states that an angle, line segment or shape is always congruent to itself.

We want to prove that triangle TEA = triangle MEA

If the statement ΔTEA = ΔMEA were true, we would automatically know that where the two triangles overlap ( at line ea ) is congruent to each other thus relating to the property of congruence because segment EA is shared to create both triangles and must be equal to itself to prove that ΔTEA = ΔMEA

In other words EA = EA
