Question

Can the two triangles be proven congruent through SSS or HL? answers: A) No, the triangles are congruent only through ASA. B) No, the triangles can't be proven congruent through either SSS or HL. C) Yes, the triangles are congruent through HL. D) Yes, the triangles are congruent through SSS.

Answer 1

B)

Explanation:

HL means Hypotenuse-Leg and applies only to right triangles. These triangles are not right triangles since they have an obtuse angle, so HL is out.

To use SSS, you need all three sides of one triangle to be congruent to the three sides of another triangle. Here we do not have that.

There isn't enough info to use ASA either.

Answer: B)
