Question

How do I find whether questions 5-8 are congruent by SSS (Side-Side-Side) or SAS ( Side-Angle-Side).

Answer 1

Problem N 5

In this problem we have two congruent sides and a congruent angle

so

but the congruent angle is not the angle between the two congruent sides

therefore

The triangles are not congruent

Problem N 6

we have two congruent sides and the third side is common

therefore

the triangles are congruent by SSS

statement

∆FDE=∆FCE

Problem N 7

we have two congruent sides and the angle between the two congruent sides is congruent

therefore

The triangles are congruent by SAS

so

∆CDE=∆CBA

Problem N 8

we have two congruent sides and the angle between the two congruent sides is congruent

therefore

The triangles are congruent by SAS

statement

∆AEM=∆ADJ
