Question

What additional information would you need to prove that δabc ≅ δdef by sas? triangle abc is drawn with a single hash mark between a and b and triangle def is marked with a single hash mark between d and e. angle b and angle e are marked congruent. segment ac ≅ segment ef segment bc ≅ segment fe segment ac ≅ segment fe segment bc ≅ segment ef

Prof. Scot Emard · Accepted Answer

The Givens were one side and an angle, therefore you are trying to find another side. One possibility is side AC is congruent to DF, but the angle is not in the middle so it doesn’t work. The only possible answer that can work is BC is congruent to EF

Prof. Scot Emard · Answer

We have drawn the two trainagles as required in the attachment.As we can see the side AB is equal to the side DE. Also we are given that angle B = angle E. So we know one side and one angle are equal.To be congruent, we need another side to be equal this could be either of the two :(i) Segment AC ≅ Segment FD or(ii) Segment BC ≅ Segment EFSince we do not have (i) listed as any option, we select the second oneSo, the answer is Segment BC ≅ Segment EF (Option D)
