Question

See if the two sides are congruent. If they are, state how you know.

Answer 1

ASA

Explanation:

The ASA (angle side angle) identity states that if 2 triangles share 2 angles and one side in between the angles with each other, they are congruent. Since that is the case here, it is the answer.

Answer 2

ASA

Explanation:

When you have 2 angles and a side, look and see if the side is between the 2 angles. What that means is that both angles share the one side.

If that happens, then the solution to congruence is ASA. I'd be very careful about using SSA. There are exceptions and you should not choose it if you have a choice. Sometimes it works and sometimes it does not.
