POSSIBLE POINTS 100

The class has just finished learning ways to prove that two triangles are congruent, using the Side, Side, Side Postulate. Kate and Amar are
talking about other information that you could use to prove two triangles are congruent and Kate draws this picture.
Kate thinks that knowing two sides and an angle of one triangle are congruent to two sides and an angle of a second triangle will ensure that
the triangles are congruent. Amar thinks that two triangles can have two sides and an angle congruent but still not be congruent.
In complete sentences, write who you think is correct and why
Can you draw any other pictures to support your claim?
Your answer will be graded using the rubric below
