Question

A student is given three triangles and must determine which triangles are

congruent. The student is also told that B= ZE = ZY. Which of the
following statements is true?

Answer 1

D.

Explanation:

From the given triangles above, there are just 2 triangles that look the same, that is ∆ABC and ∆XYZ.

∆ABC has two sides (AB and BC), and an included angle (angle B), which are equal to the two sides (YZ and YX) and the included angle (angle Y) of ∆XYZ as ∆ABC is a reflection of ∆XYZ.

Therefore, according to the SAS Theorem of congruency, ∆ABC is congruent to ∆XYZ.
