A
a reflection across the line containing line segment cap m cap z

Which pair of triangles can be proven congruent by SAS?

A
Image with description 2 congruent triangles have a common altitude, congruent angles at the vertex, and congruent base angles at the altitude.
B
Image with description A triangle has no labels. A perpendicular bisector is drawn from the vertex to the opposite base and divides the base into 2 equal halves, so 2 identical triangles are formed.
C
Image with description 2 triangles have a common side, 2 congruent bases, and 2 congruent altitudes.
D
Image with description 2 triangles have congruent bases, congruent side lengths, and congruent angles that are not included between two congruent sides.

Is there a series of rigid transformations that could map triangle QRS to triangle ABC ? If so, which transformations could be used?

A
No, triangle QRS and triangle ABC are congruent but triangle QRS cannot be mapped to triangle ABC using a series rigid transformations.
B
Yes, triangle QRS can be translated so that cap q is mapped to cap A and then reflected across the line containing line segment QS .
C
No, triangle QRS and triangle ABC are not congruent.
D
Yes, triangle QRS can be translated so that cap r is mapped to cap b and then rotated so that cap s is mapped to cap c .

Could triangle JKL be congruent to triangle XYZ ? Explain.

A
Yes, if line segment JL is congruent to line segment XZ .
B
No, because the hypotenuse of one triangle is equal in length to the leg of the other triangle.
C
Yes, if XZ is equal to 10 .
D
No, because the leg of one triangle is equal in length to the leg of the other triangle.
