Question

Choose the abbreviation of the postulate or theorem that supports the conclusion that △WAS ≅ △NOT.

Given:

WA = NO, AS = OT, SW = TN


Choices:

SSS

SAS

ASA

AAS

Answer 1

Answer: SSS

Explanation:

Given: In ΔWAS and ΔNOT

WA = NO, AS = OT, SW = TN

By SSS congruence postulate , we have

ΔWAS ≅ ΔNOT

The SSS congruence postulate or side-side-side postulate tells that if all the three sides of a triangle is equal to all the corresponding sides of the other triangle, then both the triangles are congruent.

Hence, SSS is the right abbreviation used for "side-side-side postulate."

Answer 2

Answer: SSS

Explanation:

WA = NO

AS = OT

SW = TN

△WAS ≅ △NOT by SSS Congruency Theorem
