Question

Which of the following is the reason for line 2 in the proof

Answer 1

Reflexive, this is because like <4=<4; When something equals its self it "reflects" to say. Think as if you are looking in a mirror, your eyes are blue, and when you look in the mirror your eyes will be blue, so with these, it looks just as if it were itself, So as the example I gave<4=<4 the angle of 4 will reflect with its special qualities. the angle is 4 and whatever type, whether right, acute, or obtuse, the reflexive property will be the exact same type of angle.

Answer 2

reflexive is the answer.

Explanation:

A relation is reflexive (has the reflexive property) if it applies to itself.

Example: The relation ≤ on numbers is reflexive because for any number x we have x ≤ x. Thus any relation is said to be reflexive if for any a, (a,a) satisfies this relation.

Here we have to prove congruence of two triangles. We find that the two triangles taken for congruence has the base RS as common.

Thus RS being the side for both the triangles is making the statement two sides of the triangle are equal . This is due to reflexive property.

Hence the two triangles are congruent by SSS
