Question

Samantha measured two of the angles in Triangle P Q R and found that they had measures of 65° and 70°. Then, she measured two of the angles in Triangle X Y Z and found that they had measures of 65° and 45°. What statement best describes the two triangles?

The two triangles cannot be congruent because the angle measures are not the same.

The two triangles are congruent because the angle measures in the two triangles are the same.

The two triangles may be congruent, but additional information is needed about the third angle in each triangle.

The two triangles may be congruent, but additional information is needed about the sides of each triangle.

Answer 2

Every triangle has 180 degrees. In this case 180 - (65 + 70) gives the remaining angle which is 45 and 180 - (65 + 45) gives the remaining angle which is 70 for the other triangle. The triangles are congruent because all angles are the same. Answer is 2nd response above
