Answer:
Measure of angle T = 25 degrees and TU = 12
Explanation:
Tamar is measuring the sides and angles of Triangle T U V to determine whether it is congruent to the triangle below. For triangle K L M, side K M is 27 millimeters, side L M is 20 millimeters, and side K L is 12 millimeters. Angle K is 45 degrees, angle M is 25 degrees, angle L is 110 degrees. Which pair of measurements would eliminate the possibility that the triangles are congruent? Measure of angle T = 25 degrees and Measure of angle U = 45 degrees Measure of angle T = 110 degrees and Measure of angle V = 25 degrees Measure of angle T = 25 degrees and TU = 12 Measure of angle T = 110 degrees and UV = 27
Answer: Two triangles are congruent to each other if they have the same shape and size (i.e the same sides and angles).
The ways used to find congruence are:
1) Angle-side-angle: If two angles and an included side of a triangle is equal to the two angles and corresponding side of another triangle, then they are equal.
2) Side-side-side: If all three sides of a triangle is equal to the three sides of another triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.
3) Side angle side: If two sides and an included angle of a triangle is equal to the two sides and corresponding angle of another triangle, then they are equal.
4) Hypotenuse - leg: If the hypotenuse and one leg of a triangle is equal to the hypotenuse and leg of another triangle then they are equal.
5) Angle angle side: If two angles and an non included side of a triangle is equal to the two angles and corresponding side of another triangle, then they are equal.
Measure of angle T = 25 degrees and TU = 12 would eliminate the possibility that the triangles are congruent because if T = 25°, then the side opposite angle T (UV) is suppose to be 12
