Question

State what information is required to know that the triangles are congruent.
-GEOMETRY

Answer 1

Answer: Choice A

Step-by-step explanation:

The shorthand AAS stands for "angle angle side". The diagram shows we have a pair of congruent angles, which takes care of one "A" of "AAS". So we need info about another pair of angles to take care of that other "A".

One possible pair is angle M and angle V, or we could go for angle N and angle U. Whichever option you go for, the tickmarked sides are not between the angles mentioned. If the side was between the angles, then we'd have to use ASA which is slightly different from AAS. The order matters.

Answer 2

The additional information needed to prove that the triangles are congruent is ~ A

• 
  `\sf \angle M \cong \angle V \: \: or \: \: \angle N \cong\angle U`
