Question

ΔSAM≅ΔRAT

Which statement is not necessarily true?
A) MA = TA
B) MS = TR
C) ∠M≅∠R
D) ∠M≅∠T

Answer 1

∠M≅∠R.

Explanation:

According to the congruence statement, we do not know that ∠M≅∠R.

Answer 2

Given: ΔSAM≅ΔRAT

When two triangles are congruent , their corresponding sides and corresponding angles are congruent.

Corresponding Congruent Sides:

1. SA≅ RA

2.AM ≅ AT

3. SM ≅ RT

Corresponding Congruent angles

1. ∠S≅ ∠ R

2. ∠A ≅∠A

3. ∠M ≅ ∠T

Statement C : ∠M≅∠R is not necessarily true.
